Brief description Incomplete remyelination is a significant component of the persistent clinical disability of peripheral demyelinating neuropathy, contributing to conduction deficits and the secondary axonal damage. A crucial therapeutic challenge is to identify ways to promote remyelination. This project aims to develop a new strategy and a novel clinically relevant target for treating peripheral demyelinating neuropathy.
