Abstract excerpt
Injury to myelin or oligodendrocytes may manifest as dysmyelinating or demyelinating conditions of the CNS. Previous studies using dysmyelinated animal models (myelin basic protein mutants) suggest possible axonal dysfunction with complete loss of myelin. In this present study, we evaluated retinal ganglion cell survival after axotomy in MBP mutants to determine if prolonged dysmyelination of CNS axons exerted a...
