Researchers Identify 'Master Switch' for Myelination in Human Brain Stem Cells

The single transcription factor or "master switch" that initiates the critical myelination process in the brain has been identified by scientists at the University at Buffalo. The research will be published online in iProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences/i (PNAS) on June 30. The identification of this factor, SOX10, in human brain cells, brings researchers closer to the goal of treating multiple sclerosis (MS) by transplanting into patients the brain ...
