"textContent": "A surprising discovery from high-altitude animals like yaks and Tibetan antelopes could reshape how we treat nerve damage in humans. Scientists found that a genetic mutation helping these animals survive low-oxygen environments also protects and repairs the myelin sheath—the vital coating around nerve fibers that’s damaged in diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and cerebral paralysis.",
