- Analyzing the role of diet and exercise in myelin production
Myelin is essential to the conduction of nerve impulses in the brain and spinal cord, and myelin loss is a key pathophysiological component of neurological injury and disease, including multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, stroke, and some neuropsychiatric disorders
- Demyelinating disease: What can you do about it? - Mayo Clinic
In this disease, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath or the cells that produce and maintain it The attack causes swelling, also known as inflammation, and injury to the myelin sheath Ultimately, the nerve fibers the myelin sheath surrounds are damaged The process can result in areas of scarring, known as sclerosis Other causes
- Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD)
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease, also known as MOGAD, is a rare inflammatory disease that affects the central nervous system In MOGAD , the immune system attacks the fatty substance that protects nerve fibers in the optic nerves, brain and spinal cord

- Multiple sclerosis - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic
In multiple sclerosis, the protective coating on nerve fibers, known as myelin, in the central nervous system is damaged Depending on the location of the damage in the central nervous system, symptoms may happen, including numbness, tingling, weakness, visual changes, bladder and bowel troubles, memory troubles, or mood changes, for example
- MOGAD Clinic - Overview - Mayo Clinic
The MOGAD Clinic helps people with a rare, newly defined condition called myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) It's an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the outer covering of its nerves, called myelin This leads to inflammation of the brain, optic nerve or spinal cord
- Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD)
Called MOGAD, which stands for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated-antibody disease, the rare, immune-mediated illness has been present in Joe’s life since February 2016, when, at the age of 55,…
- Examining the role of PAR2 in myelin development and repair
During adulthood, PAR2- -mice exhibited higher levels of myelin basic protein and thickened myelin sheaths," explains Isobel A Scarisbrick, Ph D , director of the Neuroregeneration and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory at Mayo Clinic's campus in Minnesota and the study's principal investigator "Genetic targeting of PAR2 fostered myelin
