How can you use “myelin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

One theory is that white matter contains putative inhibitors of axonal growth associated with myelin [ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16].
The contribution of myelin to parallel neurite growth
While the direct effect of myelin on growing axons in vitro is inhibitory but does little to block axonal growth within intact tracts in vivo , myelin may nevertheless play an important role in regulating axonal growth within intact tracts.
Three genes were identified that are involved in myelin structure and myelination: MPZ (myelin protein zero), PLP1 (myelin proteolipid protein 1) and MBP (myelin basic protein).
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.
