Sentences with phrase «producing oligodendrocyte»

In the November issue of Nature Methods, a team led by Paul Tesar, PhD, a NYSCF — Robertson Investigator at Case Western Reserve University, published a novel method in producing oligodendrocyte cells, the cells that are damaged in myelin - related disorders such as multiple sclerosis.

Neural stem cells differentiate into three different cell types: neurons (purple), oligodendrocytes (red), which produce axon insulation, and astrocytes (green), which also support neurons.

Neural stem cells are generally accepted to produce three different cell types: neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.

Neighbouring myelin - producing cells called oligodendrocytes (OLs) recognise the repeating signal and wrap myelin around the active circuit wiring.

Oligodendrocytes, the cells that are known to produce the myelin sheaths which enable saltatory conduction of action potentials along the myelinated axons, are modulators of signal transmission along neuronal connections (axons) and also promote neuronal survival by providing metabolic support.

Popko and his colleagues have previously shown that oligodendrocytes, the brain cells which produce myelin, possess an innate mechanism that responds to stressors such as inflammation.

The exosomes produced during environmental enrichment carry microRNAs — small pieces of genetic material — which appear to instruct immature cells in the brain to develop into myelin - making cells called oligodendrocytes.

There are multiple forms of MS and those afflicted with it can experience a range of symptoms but the underlying problem is damage to the insulation around the nerves, known as myelin, and the cells that produce it, known as oligodendrocytes.

Neural stem cells from the central nervous system give rise to neurons and the myelin - producing and support cells, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes, respectively.
