PRRX1 as a Possible Point of Control for Remyelination
Researchers here outline what is possibly a new point of intervention in the processes that maintain the myelin sheath that wraps nerves. This sheath is vital to the correct operation of the nervous system, and as a consequence demyelinating conditions such as multiple sclerosis are unpleasant and fatal. Loss of myelin isn't just restricted to named conditions, however: some degree of degradation occurs over the course of aging, and is thought to contribute to the progression of cognitive decline. Thus therapies that can boost myelin maintenance may be of greater interest than it might at first appear.
Myelin is mai...
