MHC class I and II expression and induction in oligodendrocytes varies with age [PDF]
Oligodendroglia expressing major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules have become of central interest in multiple sclerosis (MS) research, but their role in aging is still being elucidated.

Oligodendroglia: metabolic supporters of axons [PDF]
Axons are specialized extensions of neurons that are critical for the organization of the nervous system. To maintain function in axons that often extend some distance from the cell body, specialized mechanisms of energy delivery are likely to be necessary.

Prefrontal gamma oscillations and fear extinction learning require early postnatal interneuron-oligodendroglia communication [PDF]
Emerging evidence links oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage cells and myelin to cognitive processes, yet the role of myelination in shaping neuronal networks critical for cognitive tasks remains unknown.

Paradoxes in the Ontological Classification of Glia—Evidence for an Important New Class of Brain Cells with Primary Functions in Iron Regulation [PDF]
The ontological categorization of the cellular elements of the brain was proposed over a century ago by Santiago Ramón y Cajal (neurons, astroglia) and Pío del Río-Hortega (oligodendroglia, microglia). It combines histochemical observations of morphology

A deep phenotyping study in mouse and iPSC models to understand the role of oligodendroglia in optic neuropathy in Wolfram syndrome [PDF]
Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a rare childhood disease characterized by diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, blindness, deafness, neurodegeneration and eventually early death, due to autosomal recessive mutations in the WFS1 (and WFS2) gene.

Oligodendroglia play a critical role in CNS homeostasis by myelinating neuronal axons in their mature stages. Dysfunction in this lineage occurs when early stage OPCs are not able to differentiate to replace dying Mature Myelinating Oligodendrocytes ...

Chromatin remodelers in oligodendroglia [PDF]
AbstractOligodendrocytes, the myelinating cells in the vertebrate central nervous system, produce myelin sheaths to enable saltatory propagation of action potentials. The process of oligodendrocyte myelination entails a stepwise progression from precursor specification to differentiation, which is coordinated by a series of transcriptional and ...

Oligodendroglial Heterogeneity in Neuropsychiatric Disease
Oligodendroglia interact with neurons to support their health and maintain the normal functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). Human oligodendroglia are a highly heterogeneous population characterised by distinct developmental origins and ...
