In diabetes, much attention goes to sugar control, insulin levels, and the threat of nerve damage. But a new study reveals ...

Deactivating Protein May Protect Nerve Fibers In Multiple Sclerosis Date: April 25, 2007 Source: Oregon Health & Science University Summary: Neuroscientists are eyeing a protein as a potential ...

A compound appears to protect nerve fibers and the fatty sheath, called myelin, that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The new research in a mouse model advances earlier work to ...

In the compound action potential produced in a nerve conduction test, the fastest arriving fibers (the most myelinated) determine the onset latency and hence the velocity of that nerve.

When oncomodulin was added to retinal nerve cells in a Petri dish, with known growth-promoting factors already present, axon growth nearly doubled. No other growth factor was as potent.
