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.

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.

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.

Oligodendrocyte precursors first arise in a restricted ventral part of the embryonic spinal cord and migrate laterally and dorsally from there. Later, secondary sources develop in the dorsal cord. Normally, the ventrally-derived precursors compete with and suppress their dorsal counterparts.

Demyelination and oligodendrocytes
Although neurological sequelae are attributable to poor regeneration of the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes demonstrate robust regenerative response even in adults. Accumulating evidence indicates that the glial cells identified by surface expression of the proteoglycan NG2 are the cellular source of newly-developed oligodendrocytes following ...

OLIG2 regulates lncRNAs and its own expression during oligodendrocyte lineage formation
Background Oligodendrocytes, responsible for axon ensheathment, are critical for central nervous system (CNS) development, function, and diseases. OLIG2 is an important transcription factor (TF) that acts during oligodendrocyte development and performs ...

Autophagy collaborates with apoptosis pathways to control oligodendrocyte number
Summary: Oligodendrocytes are the sole myelin-producing cells in the central nervous system. Oligodendrocyte number is tightly controlled across diverse brain regions to match local axon type and number, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here,

Network-Based Genomic Analysis of Human Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Differentiation
Summary: Impaired human oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (hOPC) differentiation likely contributes to failed remyelination in multiple sclerosis. The characterization of molecular pathways that regulate hOPC differentiation will provide means to induce ...

Oligodendrocyte development is accompanied by defined changes in the state of chromatin that are brought about by chromatin remodeling complexes. Many such remodeling complexes exist, but only a few have been studied for their impact on oligodendrocytes ...
