Demyelinating Diseases: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Strategies

Int J Mol Sci. 2023 Feb 27;24(5):4596. doi: 10.3390/ijms24054596.

Abstract

Demyelinating diseases are a group of pathologies characterized by the alteration of myelin-that is, the coating that wraps around most of the nerve fibres of the central and peripheral nervous system, whose goal is the improvement of nerve conduction and the preservation of energy spent during action potential propagation [...].
