Brain lipid binding protein expression in remyelinating Schwann cells of the spinal cord in multiple sclerosis

Myelin is important for axon maintenance and survival, as well as for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses. Consequently, loss of myelin after spinal cord injury or in demyelinating diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) results in dysfunction of nerve impulse propagation and progressive axonal...
