Study may offer insight into multiple sclerosis

Kevin Robinson

A transgenic zebra fish expressing enhanced GFP has helped bring a broader understanding of how nerve cells obtain their myelin sheath, the membrane that acts as an electrical insulator. The research may eventually play a role in developing therapies to treat multiple sclerosis, a degenerative nerve disease characterized by erosions in the myelin sheath. Investigators at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., and at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom created the transgenic zebra fish to express fluorescent proteins in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. During embryo...Read full article
