Remyelination

Regenerative process is the process of activating oligodendrocyte preursor cells to form oligodendrocytes to form new myelin sheaths in axons that are depleted in the CNS. This is a naturally-regulated process in the body and is usually most effective in a healthy CNS. This procedure creates a smaller hole in the myelin sheath than is normal, but it helps protect the axon from further damage, from complete collapse, and proves to increase its regeneration. The processes undergoing regeneration are under investigation in the hope of finding novel therapeutic approaches, such as multiple sclerosis. Reconstruction looks different for the development of myelination in the myelin-derived structure. The reasons for this are unclear, but the function of the axon is restored positively either.
