Fibrobiologics' cell therapy CYMS101 significantly increased myelin production and promoted myelin repair in a mouse model of ...

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is one of the most common human ... which the immune system attacks and degrades the outer coat of nerve fibers, known as the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath allows quick ...

The central role of Epstein-Barr virus in causing multiple ... autoreactive immune cells attack and degrade the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerves in the brain. The disease has ...

Much like the insulation around the wires in electrical systems, glial cells form a membraneous sheath surrounding axons called myelin, thereby insulating the axon. This myelination, as it is ...

The study suggests that TGFβ-induced immune suppression leads to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, which in turn contributes to the hyperinflammatory state seen in MIS-C. Multisystem ...

A new study found that part of the Epstein-Barr virus mimics a protein made in ... found in the insulating sheath on nerves," ...

MS is a chronic, debilitating neurodegenerative disease where the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, the protective layer around nerve fibers. This damage disrupts communication between the ...

The Wistar Institute's Paul M. Lieberman, Ph.D. and lab identified and tested a new method for targeting certain cancers caused by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), in the paper, "USP7 inhibitors ...

(Annals of Internal Medicine) Antibody reactivity against Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 and glial cellular adhesion molecule differentiated multiple sclerosis (MS) patients from healthy ...

However, it is known to involve an autoimmune response where the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath—the protective covering of nerves—or the nerves themselves. This impairs the ...
