Remyelination
Description
Demyelination occurs following myelin sheaths damage due to injury and inflammation. Following demyelination, the remyelination process involves the recruitment of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC), which proliferate and differentiate into mature oligodendrocytes that assemble new myelin sheaths.
