Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disorders: Toward a New Spectrum of Inflammatory Demyelinating CNS Disorders?

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Inflammatory demyelinating CNS syndromes include, besides their most common entity multiple sclerosis (MS), several different diseases of either monophasic or recurrent character—including neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs) and acute ...

Optical coherent tomography capabilities in the diagnosis of demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system

open access: yesАнналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2018
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique routinely used for obtaining in vivo transverse images of tissues. In the field of neurology, OCT is used to assess retinal changes in various diseases, including multiple sclerosis ...

Mechanisms of remyelination: recent insight from experimental models

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2014
Oligodendrocytes and myelin play essential roles in the vertebrate central nervous system. Demyelination disrupts saltatory nerve conduction, leading to axonal degeneration and neurological disabilities.

Genetics of Demyelinating Diseases

open access: yesBrain Pathology, 1996
Multiple sclerosis(MS), the prototypic demyelinating disease in humans, is the most common cause of acquired neurological dysfunction arising between early to mid adulthood. MS is an inflammatory disorder and is believed to result from an autoimmune response, directed against myelin proteins and perhaps other antigens, resulting in demyelination and ...

Optic neuritis in various demyelinating diseases

open access: yesНеврология, нейропсихиатрия, психосоматика
The discovery of antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and against myelinoligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) confirmed the existence of two disease entities distinct from multiple sclerosis (MS) — neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and ...

Advances in Therapeutics Research for Demyelinating Diseases

open access: yesPharmaceuticals
Demyelinating diseases comprise a group of chronic and debilitating neurological disorders, with the destruction of the myelin sheath serving as the core pathological hallmark. The central pathogenesis involves immune-mediated damage to oligodendrocytes (
