28 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
The role of astrocytes in the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is discussed controversially. Especially the formation of the glial scar is often believed to act as a barrier for remyelination. At the same time, astrocytes are known to produce factors that influence oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) survival. To explore these mechanisms, we investigated the astrocytic reaction in an animal model...
