Abstract
Axonal degeneration determines the clinical outcome of multiple sclerosis (MS), and is thought to result from exposure of denuded axons to immune-mediated damage. We challenge this view after finding in MS and its mouse models that myelin itself increases the risk of axons to degenerate under inflammatory conditions. We propose a model for demyelinating diseases in which for axons that remain myelinated, and thus shielded from the extracellular milieu, dependence from oligodendroglial support turns fatal in an autoimmune disease environment.
