How to make an oligodendrocyte [PDF]
Oligodendrocytes produce myelin, an insulating sheath required for the saltatory conduction of electrical impulses along axons. Oligodendrocyte loss results in demyelination, which leads to impaired neurological function in a broad array of diseases ranging from pediatric leukodystrophies and cerebral palsy, to multiple sclerosis and white matter ...

A role of oligodendrocytes in information processing [PDF]
AbstractMyelinating oligodendrocytes enable fast propagation of action potentials along the ensheathed axons. In addition, oligodendrocytes play diverse non-canonical roles including axonal metabolic support and activity-dependent myelination. An open question remains whether myelination also contributes to information processing in addition to ...

Discontinuation of Immunotherapy in Patients With Relapsing Myelitis Without AQP4/MOG Antibodies
ABSTRACT This study assesses the outcomes of immunotherapy discontinuation in patients with relapsing seronegative idiopathic myelitis (SIM), a condition that remains uninvestigated due to its rarity. We reviewed records from 77 patients with relapsing SIM at the National Cancer Center of Korea, focusing on 11 who discontinued treatment after a median ...

ABSTRACT Background Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease (MOGAD) can radiographically mimic multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). The disease hallmarks cortical lesion, central vein sign (CVS) and paramagnetic rim lesions identified in MS have not yet been comprehensively investigated in ...

Factors for Rituximab Refractoriness in AQP4‐IgG+ NMOSD: A Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a severe autoimmune condition of the central nervous system (CNS), often associated with aquaporin‐4 antibodies (AQP4‐IgG). Rituximab, a CD20+ B‐cell depleting monoclonal antibody, is widely used as first‐line therapy.

Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force initiated the TASK3 working group to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.

ABSTRACT Introduction The kappa‐free light chain (κ‐FLC) index is known to be highly sensitive and specific for diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS), while little is understood about lambda (λ)‐FLC. This study assessed the κ‐FLC and λ‐FLC indices in autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy.

GDE2-Dependent Activation of Canonical Wnt Signaling in Neurons Regulates Oligodendrocyte Maturation
Summary: Neurons and oligodendrocytes communicate to regulate oligodendrocyte development and ensure appropriate axonal myelination. Here, we show that Glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase 2 (GDE2) signaling underlies a neuronal pathway that promotes ...

Understanding Mechanisms of Whole Brain and Regional Grey Matter Atrophy in Children With MOGAD
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the mechanisms driving whole brain and regional grey matter (GM) volume changes along with their clinical correlates in paediatric myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG‐Ab)–associated disease (MOGAD). Methods One‐hundred‐nine paediatric MOGAD patients from two UK centres underwent MRI at attack nadir and ...

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,
