Sanders says his approach has been successful for producing the amyloid beta precursor protein, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease, as well as peripheral myelin protein 22, mutations in ...

Even if these MAP antigens were not homologs of CNS myelin proteins, they share sequence homology with myelin protein P0, T-cell receptor (TCR)-γ chain C region, complement activation product C1q ...

“The paper shows very clearly that the ability to generate new myelin is necessary for adult mice to learn a complex motor task,” said the University of Michigan’s Gabriel Corfas, author of an ...

In India, more than 100 cases have been reported with hallmarks of this rare neurological disease that can cause paralysis.
