Human ES Cells Progress Slowly In Myelin's Direction

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090409103342.htm

Scientists have successfully created, from human embryonic stem (ES) cells,

cells that can make myelin, opening up new possibilities for basic and clinical

research. Myelin loss, as occurs in multiple sclerosis, stops nerves from

working with devastating consequences. Creating these cells has long been a

challenge partly because they take an unexpectedly long time to develop from

human ES cells.
