Oligodendrocytes and myelin are essential for maintaining the structural integrity and function of the axons in the central nervous system (CNS). The progressive decline of remyelination in multiple sclerosis is partially due to the failure of oligodendrocyte differentiation within chronic lesions. ...

we observed an ablation of 70–85% of dorsally derived oligodendrocyte lineage cells (dOLCs) in the cerebral cortex (Fig.1b,e), corpus callosum (CC) (Extended Data
Describe the various functions of epithelial tissue. Describe the function of: a. an astrocyte b. an ependymal cell c. oligodendrocyte d. microglia e. neurolemmocyte Describe the functions of astrocytes. Describe the structure and function of platelets by discussing a clinical disorder associated wit...
"Oligodendrocyte" means "cellwith a few dendrites" in Greek, an appellation that stems from their relatively delicate appearance compared to astrocytes, which appear as they do thanks to the robust number of processes radiating in all directions from the cell body. They are found in both the gr...
The importance of the oligodendrocyte lineage and the myelin in the healthy brain OLGs are a major glial cell type in the CNS, which con- stitute around 75% of the CNS glial cell population [80]. OLGs are responsible for the production, stability, and maintenance of myelin ...
Oligodendrocyte survival and function in the long-lived strain of the myelin deficient rat This study has examined cellular and molecular aspects of glial cell function in a newly described long-lived myelin deficient rat mutant. In contrast to t... ID Duncan,NL Nadon,RL Hoffman,... - 《Jour...
down-regulated gene categories (Extended Data Fig.3a–d). Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA, Qiagen) identified white matter (WM)-associated pathways in the top categories of altered genes in both sexes (Extended Data Fig.3e,f). Comparison of cerebellar DEGs to previous published oligodendrocyte (...
Delineation of the minimal encephalitogenic epitope within the immunodominant region of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein: diverse V(3 gene usage by T cells recognizing the core epitope encephalitogenic for T cell receptor V(3’ and T cell receptor VP’ H-2h mice. Eur J Immunol 1996; 26: ...
* Myelin sheath is made up of cells (Schwann cells) wrapping themselves around the axon. In the Central Nervous System, this action is performed by the oligodendrocyte cells.Nerve ending/ Axon terminalThis is the distal part of the axon that comes in contact with other cells. Because this ...
