| 1. | Immune cells target myelin, the cushioning sheath around nerve fibers.
|
| 2. | In 1884 he introduced a precise method for staining myelin sheaths.
|
| 3. | The encoded protein can phosphorylate myelin basic protein and undergoes autophosphorylation.
|
| 4. | Damage occurs to the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system.
|
| 5. | Without myelin to insulate neurons, nerve signals quickly lose power.
|
| 6. | Other researchers are exploring ways of promoting regrowth of myelin.
|
| 7. | Without myelin, axons cannot conduct electricity; they short-circuit.
|
| 8. | It was previously thought it worked by looking like the myelin protein,
|
| 9. | Does the Myelin Project, started by his parents, still exist?
|
| 10. | The myelin sheath allows nerve cells to conduct signals faster.
