    Scientists discover gene that helps the brain repair itself

    Scientists discovered a genetic mutation in high-altitude animals like yaks and Tibetan antelopes that helps repair the myelin sheath, a critical nerve coating damaged in diseases such as multiple sclerosis and cerebral paralysis. This mutation, which aids survival in low-oxygen environments, could lead to new treatments for nerve damage in humans.
