A new study from researchers with the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) sheds light on why certain oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the adult brain transform into gliomas, ...

Past neuroscience studies found that when the central nervous system (CNS) is damaged, for instance following a stroke or spinal cord injuries, the lesions become surrounded by borders of newly proliferated astrocytes.
Brain-computer interface (BCI)—an experimental technology that makes it possible to move robotic limbs using only one's thoughts—holds promise to transform the lives of people with paralysis. But before BCI can make the ...

Myelin is a multiple-layered structure formed by oligodendrocytes. The ensheathment of axons by myelin plays an important role in both functional integrity and long-term survival of axons and thus regulates activity of the ...

A study in mice shows that selectively removing cells that are no longer dividing from the brains of mice with a form of Alzheimer's disease can reduce brain damage and inflammation, and slow the pace of cognitive decline. ...

Mapping of a certain group of cells, known as oligodendrocytes, in the central nervous system of a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS), shows that they might have a significant role in the development of the disease. The ...
