MeSH tree: G16.762.611
Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, which is essentially the brain's white matter, was believed to serve the main function of speeding ...
A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell‐based therapies hold promise as a potential ...
