The effect of differences in myelination between CNS and PNS neurons and their debris clearance strategies on their regenerative capacity after injury
Abstract This paper investigates how distinct myelination strategies of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) influence their regenerative capacities following injury. Neurons are important to the human body as they act as a point of relay to receive and transmit nerve signals to and from the central nervous system.…
