Abstract: -The integrity of myelin sheaths is maintained by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells respectively in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the peripheral nervous system. The process of demyelination consisting of the withdrawal of myelin sheaths from their axons is a characteristic feature of multiple sclerosis, the most common human demyelinating disease. Many experimental models have been designed to study the biology of demyelination and remyelination (repair of the lost myelin) in the CNS, due to the dif… Show more

“…The loss of astrocytes determined a breach in the glial limiting membrane (GLM) that allowed the free entry of Schwann cells within the CNS territory 2,7,8 , feature reported elsewhere 15,16 .The bulk of the invading Schwann cells is larger than in most toxic demyelinating models where the target of the chemical is the myelin sheath itself 14 . In the spinal cord the number of invading Schwann cells was much more marked than in the brainstem 8,18 . The origin of the invading Schwann cells was not definitely sorted out.…”
