Regulation of remyelination in multiple sclerosis

Abstract excerpt

Multiple sclerosis is a common demyelinating disease that worsens over the course of disease, a significant problem in clinical management. Disability in MS is significantly promoted by poor repair and remyelination of lesions. Both oligodendrocyte recruitment and maturation defects are seen as major causes of poor remyelination in MS. The mechanisms behind impaired remyelination in animal models include...
