> The myelin sheath is a protective membrane that wraps around part of certain nerve cells. Myelin also affects how fast signals travel through those nerve cells. Several diseases and conditions — multiple sclerosis being the most well-known — damage or destroy myelin. Ongoing research is aimed at protecting, repairing or regenerating myelin.
