Demyelination refers to damage to the myelin around nerves. Myelin coats many nerves in the body, but it can become damaged due to inflammation from viral infections, autoimmune diseases ...

The recent identification of ion-channel subtypes and ion transporters on the myelinated axon has allowed the characterization of changes in their distribution and density after demyelination.

A novel PET technique that visualizes spinal cord injuries provides critical information about which patients may be able to ...

Typical nerve conduction abnormalities indicating demyelination are seen in (b): prolonged distal latencies, temporal dispersion, and amplitude reduction of action potentials. Note that the ...

Demyelination in MS occurs when the immune system attacks and damages the myelin sheaths that insulate and nourish axons and nerve fibres in the central nervous system, leading to multifocal ...

When antibodies attack MOG, it causes damage to myelin, leading to demyelination. When nerves become demyelinated, they don’t function as well. MOGAD can affect both adults and children.
