The link didn't work for me. Is it possible to copy and paste the article? Thanks.

When I clicked on the article, the page said "this article is no longer availabe". The website was there, just not the article.

I read the whole article. The most fascinating stuff I have ever read. Didn't understand a word but I don't have to. THEY DO!!! And that's the important thing. Vanderbuilt study. I'll be looking for updates on this thing, believe me.

Now here's a paragraph from this study:

"the oligodendrocytes that produce the myelin membranes arise from mobile, dividing cells called “oligodentrocyte progenitor cells” or OPCs. OPCs are made in special locations in the brain and spinal cord."

I dare somebody to say this three times fast!!!

I know potatoes. I DON'T KNOW oligodendrocytes. Jeez. that's the best word I've come upon in a long time.
oligodendrocytes.......gotta love it.

SOUND'S EXTREMELY PROMISING. Hopefully they will learn much in our lifetime.

The one thing that is mentioned only ONCE in it all is that it's all work being done on MICE. It's at times like these that I am grateful for those mice giving their all to help us all find a way to heal in the future.

Also it's all that microbiology and chemistry stuff...that gets to me as well. Cooking is straight out easy "chemistry" by comparison for sure!

As for the oligodendrocites, It was phrases similar to that which put me 'off' of Russian literature!

Hugs to all! - j
