The myelination of axons by oligodendrocytes is a highly complex cell-to-cell interaction.
Oligodendrocytes and axons have a reciprocal signaling relationship in which …

Axons are the physical conduits by which information is relayed within the nervous system
and as such, are essential for normal neurological function. In the central nervous system …

Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating glia of the central nervous system. Myelination of
axons allows rapid saltatory conduction of nerve impulses and contributes to axonal …

The myelination of axons has evolved to enable fast and efficient transduction of electrical
signals in the vertebrate nervous system. Acting as an electric insulator, the myelin sheath is …

J. Neurochem.(2010) 114, 1243–1260. Abstract In multiple sclerosis, CNS demyelination is
often followed by spontaneous repair, mostly achieved by adult oligodendrocyte precursor …

Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system that constitute
about 5 to 10% of the total glial population. These cells are responsible for myelin sheath …

Myelinated nerve fibers have evolved to enable fast and efficient transduction of electrical
signals in the nervous system. To act as an electric insulator, the myelin sheath is formed as …

Myelin is required for efficient nerve conduction, but not all axons are myelinated to the
same extent. Here we review recent studies that have revealed distinct myelination patterns …

Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells are highly specialized glial cells that wrap axons with
a multilayered myelin membrane for rapid impulse conduction. Investigators have recently …

The study of structural and functional plasticity in the central nervous system (CNS) to date
has focused primarily on that of neurons and synapses. However, more recent studies …
