Remyelination in the CNS: from biology to therapy

RJM Franklin, C Ffrench-Constant - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2008 - nature.com
Remyelination involves reinvesting demyelinated axons with new myelin sheaths. In stark
contrast to the situation that follows loss of neurons or axonal damage, remyelination in the …
