Remyelination is the process by which damaged or lost myelin, the insulating sheath that surrounds nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS), is replaced. This process involves the generation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, which mature into myelinating oligodendrocytes that wrap new myelin around the nerve fibers. Successful remyelination can restore normal nerve function, but incomplete or inefficient remyelination can lead to neurological dysfunction, including cognitive impairment, motor deficits, and sensory disturbances. Remyelination is a complex process that involves multiple molecular and cellular mechanisms, and is the focus of intense research efforts aimed at developing new therapies for demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
