Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation is a key element in myelin formation, differentiation of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, and recovery from demyelinating lesions. Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease of the human central nervous system, and studies of experimental demyelination indicate that remyelination in vivo requires the local generation, migration or maturation of...
