Demyelination and remyelination

Article Abstract:

Recent findings in myelin sheath biology and pathology are presented. Studies involving multiple sclerosis patients indicate that secondary degeneration of heat shock protein-reactive oligodendrocytes may be a major factor in persistently demyelinated lesions. Brain lesion immunopathogenic pathways also seem to vary between different patients or even between different stages of the disease in a single patient.

The ingredients for success in this type of life choice include a sense of humor, confidence, emotional maturity, self-reliance, flexibility, and some knowledge of the local language.
