  • The second is to repair the damage that has occurred to the protective myelin sheaths surrounding the nerve fibres (this involves a regenerative process called remyelination in which new myelin sheaths are restored to nerve fibres).

  • It is known that a repair process, called remyelination, takes place in early phases of the disease, but the myelin sheath cannot completely rebuild a destroyed myelin sheath.

  • Previous studies by the team and other researchers have shown that grafted OPCs survive after grafting into an injured spinal cord and increase movement recovery, but the mechanical connection to remyelination had only been theorized.
