Cell Biology and Pathology of Myelin - Evolving Biological Concepts and Therapeutic Approaches

To facilitate the transfer of information from the laboratory to the clinic, 33 papers discuss the evolving biological concepts regarding myelin function in health and disease. They work within the understanding the membrane functions as more than a simple insulating sheath, and cover it as a dynami
