Myelin Enhances Neuronal Regeneration After Spinal Cord Injury in Rodents

Caption

Axonal growth in human neural stem cells was stimulated in the presence of myelin derived from either monkeys or rats. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 23 May, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by G.H.D. Poplawski at University of California, San Diego in La Jolla, Calif.; and colleagues was titled, "Adult rat myelin enhances axonal outgrowth from rat neural stem cells."
