Damage to myelin, the fatty insulator that enables communication between nerve cells, characterizes multiple sclerosis and other devastating neurological diseases. The damage doesn't come all at once: There is a "honeymoon" period during which some regeneration of myelin, called remyelination, does occur, but this ability to regenerate dissipates as the disease progresses and the patient ages.
