Description
MynndLab focuses on investigating the mechanisms behind myelin sheath disruption caused by exposure to neurotoxic elements. The research highlights the impact of environmental neurotoxicants on oxidative stress, oligodendrocyte vulnerability, and the development of demyelination, particularly in relation to diseases like Alzheimer’s. The lab aims to contribute to strategies for preventing and repairing myelin damage.
