Quote:Would remyelination be regenerative?

Myelin is regenerated.


...not that this has any relevance

What about preventing myelin from breaking down in the first place?

Also, in MS, what is the status of the "wire"?

Remyelination is equivalent to wrapping some electrical tape around a bare spot on an electrical cord. That keeps the cord from arcing out. But the electrical tape does not replace (regenerate) the cord.

seems like its more like replacing a damaged female or male end of an electrical cord, to allow electrical current to run through the cord (again).
