Rapamycin improves peripheral nerve myelination while it fails to benefit neuromuscular performance in neuropathic mice

Charcot–-Marie–Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is a hereditary peripheral neuropathy characterized by progressive demyelination and distal muscle weakness. Abnormal expression of peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) has been linked to CMT1A and is modeled by Trembler J (TrJ) mice, which carry the same...
