So that’s what causes muscular sclerosis, a breakdown in the oligodendrocytes myelin function. Given how important this “insulation” is to ensuring the body can properly transmit nerve impulses, I would hope that medical science would be looking for ways to remedy the condition. I can see ...
What are oligodendrocytes (CNS)?CNS vs. PNS:The central nervous system (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes all the nerves and ganglia outside the central nervous system. The basic unit of both the CNS and PNS is the neuron. Neurons ...

Oligodendrocytes produce and maintain the myelin sheath that coats and insulates the axon, making electrical conduction more efficient. Ependymal cells produce CSF (cerebrospinal fluid), which is located within the ventricles of the brain and in the subarachnoid space that surrounds the brain and spina...
Adult oligodendrocyte precursor (or progenitor) cells (OPCs) are the most proliferative cells in the CNS and constitute approximately 10% of cells in the human brain.1,2 Whereas their primary function is to generate mature myelinating oligodendrocytes,2-4 there is increased evidence that OPCs ...

Question: What is the function of the colon? Muscular Movement: The colon is the body's large intestine. It's made up of various parts: the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon. Each part of the colon works together during the digestive process...
Oligodendrocytes are responsible for the myelination of neurons. The process is dynamic, requiring these special cells to regulate myelin production in every neuron, then maintain it through oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). By themselves, neurons cannot regenerate independently, requiring OPCs to...
