The paper K.M. Young et al., “Oligodendrocyte dynamics in the healthy adult CNS: evidence for myelin remodeling,” Neuron, 77:873-85, 2013. The problem Oligodendrocytes (OLs) produce the myelin sheaths ...

Damage to myelin, the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers, impairs the brain's ability to transmit signals efficiently ...

Lack of glucose was surprisingly well tolerated by oligodendrocytes ... this mechanism of metabolizing fatty acids from the ...

Moreover, because myelin is produced by non-neuronal glial cells called oligodendrocytes, which myelinate axons by extending thin processes of their cell membranes to wrap around them, the study ...
