achieving widespread and dense myelin basic protein (MBP) expression by 4 weeks after grafting. Adult OPCs generated oligodendrocytes more efficiently than fetal OPCs, and ensheathed more host ...
The neurons of the brain are protected by an insulating layer called myelin. In certain diseases like multiple sclerosis, ...
This study uncovers how oligodendroglial lipid metabolism supports myelin homeostasis and axonal function under metabolic ...
C1QL1 promotes the replacement of the cells that produce myelin. Boosting it may improve treatment of demyelinating diseases.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (USA) has awarded a grant of 1 million dollars to Dr. Isabel Pérez-Otaño, who leads ...
Astrocytes in the brain exhibit significant regional diversity, but the mechanisms controlling their heterogeneity remain ...
To learn more about the lives of oligodendrocytes, Robert Hill, a neurobiologist at Dartmouth College and coauthor on the study, turned to cell death. While Hill and his team have studied ...
