Awakening Oligodendrocyte Precursors: Recent Advances in Remyelination The Scientist is bringing together a panel of experts to share their research into remyelination strategies, across diverse ...

Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells, or OPCs (the purple and green blobs above), prune unneeded synapses (the silver streaks) in the brain’s visual cortex in response to new information and experiences.

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, researchers investigated the contributions of oligodendrocytes (OLs) and neurons to amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque burden in Alzheimer's disease ...

If neurons are wires, myelin is the insulation that wraps around them; without it, current loss occurs and the circuit weakens. This is analogous to what happens in demyelinating diseases such as ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, present a substantial and escalating burden. Each of these conditions afflicts approximately three ...
