New Study Unravels How Myelin is Repaired, May Suggest New MS Treatments Japanese scientists have discovered new information about how the myelin sheath is repaired following damage. Myelin is a fatty substance that wraps around nerve cells and helps them to conduct impulses. The research could have major implications for how multiple sclerosis is understood and even treated. http://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/2015/09/07/new-study-unravels-myelin-repaired-may-suggest-new-ms-treatments/ |
In a new study entitled "Neutrophil trails guide influenza-specific CD8+ T cells in the airways ,” researchers uncovered a key mechanism mediated by neutrophils that guides immune system cells to the site of an injury or infection. Moreover, this mechanism is crucial for immune cells to function properly once at the injury site.

Neuroplasticity Treatment
Neuroplasticity pertains to the nerves and/or brain and plastic - moldable or
changeable in structure. The term refers to changes in neural pathways and synapses
which are due to changes in behavior, environment and neural processes,
as well as changes resulting from bodily injury Neuroplasticity has replaced the
formerly-held position that the brain is a physiologically static organ, and explores
how and in which ways - the brain changes through-out life.
Doctors are beginning to understand more about how Neuroplasticity might be an effective
treatment option for patients suffering from a myriad of brain function disorders. Part of that
understanding will require trials that target specific functions of neural related processes and
how Neuroplasticity can repair by re-directing neuron's to improve impaired functionality.
