CNS remyelination and inflammation: From basic mechanisms to therapeutic opportunities [PDF]
Remyelination, the myelin regenerative response that follows demyelination, restores saltatory conduction and function and sustains axon health. Its declining efficiency with disease progression in the chronic autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis (MS ...

Neuroaxonal loss is believed to underpin the progressive disability that characterizes multiple sclerosis (MS). While focal inflammatory demyelination is a principal cause of acute axonal transection and subsequent axonal degeneration, the gradual attrition of permanently demyelinated axons may also contribute to tissue damage, particularly in the ...

TREM2-dependent lipid droplet biogenesis in phagocytes is required for remyelination [PDF]
Upon demyelinating injury, microglia orchestrate a regenerative response that promotes myelin repair, thereby restoring rapid signal propagation and protecting axons from further damage.

The Neurovascular Niche: A Gathering Venue for Neuroinflammation and Remyelination in Multiple Sclerosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In the central nervous system (CNS), the tissue microenvironment is continuously monitored and regulated to secure the unobstructed function of neurons and of their networks. This is a key function of the neurovascular niche (NVN), which is the interface between the cells of the nervous tissue and the cells and the content of blood vessels. It

Transcriptional analysis of astrocytes reveals protective functions during remyelination [PDF]
In Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the insulating membrane that ensheaths axons termed myelin, is lost by a process known as demyelination. Initial regeneration of myelin, termed remyelination, restores neuronal function.

T<sub>1</sub> Over Squared Proton Density Ratio to Characterize Multiple Sclerosis Lesions. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Differentiating remyelinated from demyelinated lesions in MS remains challenging without histological confirmation. This study introduces the T1‐to‐PD2 ratio (TPR) imaging approach and evaluates its ability to characterize MS lesions alongside other quantitative MRI (qMRI) metrics. Methods Thirty individuals with MS (mean age: 47.5 ±

Fingolimod modulates microglial activation to augment markers of remyelination [PDF]
Introduction Microglial activation in multiple sclerosis has been postulated to contribute to long-term neurodegeneration during disease. Fingolimod has been shown to impact on the relapsing remitting phase of disease by modulating autoreactive T-cell ...

Effects of calcitriol and fingolimod on remyelination in the cuprizone model [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurodegeneration of the central nervous system (CNS). There is no cure. Current treatments target the autoimmune aspects of MS but do not directly improve CNS

Molecular Mediators Associated With Myelination, Demyelination, and Remyelination in the Peripheral Nervous System. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for innervating all regions of the body outside of the central nervous system (CNS), the latter consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. While myelin is an essential component for the efficient functioning of both CNS and peripheral nerve cells, it is particularly important for ...

Adult mesenchymal stem cell therapy for myelin repair in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is the most frequent neurological disease in young adults and affects over 2 million people worldwide.
