Abstract excerpt
Oligodendrocytes play a significant role in the central nervous system, as these cells are responsible for myelinating axons and allowing for the efficient conduction of nerve impulses. Therefore, any understanding we can gain about the functional biology of oligodendrocytes will give us important insights into demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis, where oligodendrocytes and myelin are damaged or...
