Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells are neural cells which give rise to oligodendrocytes – glial cells in the central nervous system. While most oligodendrocyte progenitor cells differentiate into ...

There are three kinds of glial cells in the brain, oligodendrocyte, astrocyte and microglia. Oligodendrocytes myelinate neuronal axons to increase conduction velocity of neuronal impulses. A Japanese ...

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, which is essentially the brain's white matter, was believed to serve the ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the disruption of nerve signals and various associated neurological symptoms, ranging from vision problems to numbness, ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Malika Bsibsi, Abeera Popalzij, Matteo Zanella, Lieke Geerts, Mark Musters, Stefan Kostense, David Fischer, Ludo Buti, Tony Oosterveen, Ines ...

Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that destroys myelin, oligodendrocytes, and axons. Since most of the lesions of multiple sclerosis are not remyelinated, ...

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) is a condition of the nervous system that can be managed with lifestyle modifications or medications, depending on your individual needs.
