Myelin is repaired by constitutive differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitors
Oligodendrocytes form myelin sheaths around axons to enable rapid signaling within neural circuits. The generation of new oligodendrocytes through differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (O...

Our Paper is out! We studied cortical microglia and regenerating oligodendrocyte (OL) interactions. In short: demyelination induces transiently reactive microglia and depletion of these reactive microglia increase recovering OL number onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Depletion of Microglia Increases Cortical Oligodendrocyte Density During Remyelination
Cuprizone demyelination induces transient reactive states in deep cortical microglia (MG) through early recovery. Depleting MG in recovery increases the number of deep cortical mature/pre-myelina...

Gong, @jennoligomyelin.bsky.social, Abrams et al. present two novel, disease-causing genetic variants of #connexin 47. In vitro assays and MD simulations reveal unique mechanisms that relate connexin 47 mutations to severities of Pelizaeus–Merzbacher-like disease 1. rupress.org/jgp/article/...

Excited to Share FAST - a free and user-friendly way to segment and track cells in longitudinal in vivo imaging sets. We developed it for #oligodendrocytes but it also works for #astrocytes! #Gliadelphia @pennmedicine.bsky.social www.eneuro.org/content/12/2...

FAST: Fast, Free, Consistent, and Unsupervised Oligodendrocyte Segmentation and Tracking System
To develop reparative therapies for neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS), we need to better understand the physiology of loss and replacement of oligodendrocytes, the cells that make my...

Standing up for science by sharing this labor of ❤️ out today! What underlies selective neuronal vulnerability in rare 🧬 disorders when the gene is ubiquitously expressed? TBCK patient derived neurons have axonal predominant lysosomal and mRNA trafficking defects, 👇🏽 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
