| myelin |
In neuroscience, myelin is an electrically insulating fatty layer that surrounds the axons of many neurons, especially those in the peripheral nervous system. It is an outgrowth of glial cells: Schwann cells supply the myelin for peripheral neurons while oligodendrocytes supply it to those of the Central nervous system. The myelin produced by the different cell types varies in its chemical composition or configuration, but performs the same function. ...

| myelinopathy |
Myelinopathy is due to primary destruction of myelin or the myelinating Schwann cells, which leaves the axon intact, but causes an acute failure of impulse conduction.This demyelination slows down or completely blocks the conduction of electical impulses through the nerve. ...

| myeloablation |
A severe form of myelosuppression. Myelosuppression is a condition in which bone marrow activity is decreased, resulting in fewer red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is a side effect of some cancer treatments.
