Myelin Repair

Meaning

Myelin Repair is the complex, vital biological process of regenerating the myelin sheath, a protective, specialized fatty layer that insulates nerve axons in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. This repair is absolutely essential for maintaining the rapid, saltatory, and efficient transmission of electrical signals along neural pathways. Impairment in myelin repair capacity is implicated in neurodegenerative conditions and is increasingly recognized as being significantly influenced by neurosteroids and other hormonal factors.
