Mechanosensitivity of Human Oligodendrocytes [PDF]
Oligodendrocytes produce and repair myelin, which is critical for the integrity and function of the central nervous system (CNS). Oligodendrocyte and oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) biology is modulated in vitro by mechanical cues within the ...

In the developing central nervous system, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) differentiate into oligodendrocytes, which form myelin around axons. Oligodendrocytes and myelin are essential for the function of the central nervous system, as evidenced ...

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells engulf synapses during circuit remodeling in mice
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) give rise to myelinating oligodendrocytes throughout life, but the functions of OPCs are not limited to oligodendrogenesis.

Oligodendrocytes in a Nutshell [PDF]
Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS). While the phrase is oft repeated and holds true, the last few years have borne witness to radical change in our understanding of this unique cell type. Once considered static glue, oligodendrocytes are now seen as plastic and adaptive, capable of reacting to a changing CNS.

Oligodendrocytes in Schizophrenia [PDF]
Despite the many neuroimaging studies that suggest gray matter volume reductions in schizophrenia, there is no compelling postmortem evidence to suggest neuronal loss, nor is there a distinctive or specific signature of gray matter abnormalities in schizophrenia.

Centenary of the oligodendrocyte
“At the banquet of medicine, [histology] is the guest of honor, who eats little—aloof, mysterious—to whom all listen, yet whom very few understand.”1 For Pío del Río-Hortega (Spain, 1882–Argentina, 1945), histology blended the cold and factual with the dynamic, romantic artistry that brought the subject to light.

The immunomodulatory oligodendrocyte [PDF]
Oligodendrocytes, the myelinating glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are due to their high specialization and metabolic needs highly vulnerable to various insults. This led to a general view that oligodendrocytes are defenseless victims during brain damage such as occurs in acute and chronic CNS inflammation.

Emerging evidence has implicated non-neuronal cells, particularly oligodendrocytes, in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington’s disease and ...

Oligodendrocyte Development and Plasticity. [PDF]
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) originate in the ventricular zones (VZs) of the brain and spinal cord and migrate throughout the developing central nervous system (CNS) before differentiating into myelinating oligodendrocytes (OLs). It is not known whether OPCs or OLs from different parts of the VZ are functionally distinct.
