«Our findings provide direct evidence that B cells reside in the mouse neonatal brain and promote both oligodendrocyte proliferation and
neuron myelination.
Not exact matches
Even more surprising, these cells appear to stimulate axon
myelination in the surrounding
neurons.»
Researchers at Osaka University found that B immune cells reside in the brains of developing mice, and play a key role in the
myelination of
neurons by oligodendrocytes.
We are also interested in other neuronal functions of the TSC signaling network, such as the control of
neuron size,
myelination, survival and stress responses.
He went on to show that motor
neurons in both SMA mouse models and patients have defects in
myelination.
