A new study has identified the protein hnRNP A1 as a key player in the production and maintenance of myelin, the fatty sheath ...

Research published in the Journal of Neurochemistry has detailed the role of a protein, hnRNP A1, in the formation and ...

Study uncovers how the protein hnRNP A1 may impact myelin stability, offering new clues in schizophrenia development.

It “protects” the extensions of neurons (axons) and increases the conduction ... process in the animals and then restore the myelin sheath. This allowed for an interesting study window.

Myelin is a fatty substance produced by oligodendrocytes (cells of the central nervous system) that forms a sheath, like a kind of "insulator." It "protects" the extensions of neurons (axons ...

These cells are important regulators of nervous system signal transduction and regulate many physiological processes, for example oligodendrocytes are responsible for the production of the axon ...
