Researchers Identify Key Gene That May Help Brain Treatment

...peeds up the growth of the body's protective fatty nerve coverings. Named juxtanodin, the gene speeds up the growth of myelin, the fatty sheath that protects nerves in the brain and spinal cord. "This one special gene has a clear function," The Straits Times quoted Assistant Professor Liang Fengyi as say...
