New discoveries about myelin
« on: April 25, 2014, 03:43:31 pm »
This article in Medical News Today, April 25 claims that researchers have found that myelin isn't distributed evenly along the axons but is "patchy." They aren't sure what this means in terms of the function of myelin but they think it's a significant finding with implications for the concept of MS.
