ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a process for improving the regeneration of oligodendrocytes, in particular of human oligodendrocytes, in which oligodendrocytes are treated in cell culture with nerve growth factor (NGF) or active fragments of NGF. Furthermore a composition is disclosed for treating diseases in which a demyelination of nerve fibres occurs which contains NGF or an active fragment thereof as the active substance, if desired, together with the usual pharmaceutical vehicles, auxiliary substances, fillers and diluents.
