Example sentences for: myelin
How can you use “myelin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Insulin + cells showed little or no co-expression of neural stem cell markers like Nestin (see Figure 1), or other markers of neural lineages known to develop from human neural progenitors, like MAP2 (differentiated neurons; Figure 5D–5F), Olig2 (multipotent precursors, bipotent glial precursors, and oligodendrocytes; Figure 5J–5L; see [38]), or myelin basic protein (data not shown).
The "inhibitory" activity of myelin may actually serve to promote axonal growth in an intact fiber tract (such as the distal stump of the injured spinal cord) by restricting this growth to an orientation that is parallel to the fiber tract while discouraging local meandering and collateral sprouting.
Although myelin clearance within the peritraumatic region of central fiber tracts begins soon after injury, this clearance proceeds slowly.
For example, administration of GAD65 to young NOD mice has been shown to prevent insulitis and diabetes [ 8 9 ] , apparently via induction of CD4+ regulatory T cells with a T H 2 phenotype [ 10 ] . Similarly, treatment with immunodominant peptides of myelin can prevent or reverse experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a T H 1-associated inducible "autoimmune" disorder that is widely used as a model for human multiple sclerosis [ 11 12 13 ] .
However, when these data are taken in combination with the reduced parallel neurite growth from neurons preincubated with NGF or treated with cAMP analogs, conditions known to interfere with the overall inhibitory effects of myelin on neurite growth (see discussion below), there appears to be a preponderance of data suggesting that the loss of myelin is directly responsible for the reduced parallel orientation of neurite growth.
