After central nervous system (CNS) demyelination—such as occurs during multiple sclerosis—there is often spontaneous regeneration of myelin sheaths, mainly by oligodendrocytes but also by Schwann cells. The origins of the remyelinating cells have not previously been established. We have used Cre-lox...
What cells produce the myelin sheath?Myelin SheathThe myelin sheath wraps some neuron's axons to increase the speed at which they pass electrical signals. The myelin sheath also works to protect and insulate axons. Axons are wire-like extensions on the neuron responsible for carrying signals away...
Step-by-Step Solution1. Identify the Cells that Produce Myelin Sheath: - The myelin sheath is produced by different types of cells depending on whether it is in the central nervous system (CNS) or the periph
