regrowing nerve sheaths - reasearch

[Guest guest]

(This is from the LA Times today. It is about how science has found a

way to possibly regrow nerve sheaths in mice, and how it could help

people with MS. Please remember CMT is not MS, but I do think this could

help us as well. CMT is about the peripheral nerves, not central nervous

system. - Gretchen)

I think if they can grow a sheath they are not far from helping CMT along

with many many other problems.

the nerves, ( core of the nerve). The myelin sheath covers the axons.

OH but Becky they are getting closer to the axon.
