Myelin, a lipid membrane that wraps axons, enabling fast neurotransmission and metabolic
support to axons, is conventionally thought of as a static structure that is set early in …

Astrocytes and NG2 glia respond to CNS injury by the formation of a glial scar. Since the
changes in K + currents in astrocytes and NG2 glia that accompany glial scar formation might …

The mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH; arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus [ARH] and
median eminence [ME]) is a key nutrient sensing site for the production of the complex …

Adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) are an alternative source of stem cells for cell-based
therapies of neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI). In the present study, we …

To understand the structural alterations that underlie early and late changes in hippocampal
diffusivity after hypoxia/ischemia (H/I), the changes in apparent diffusion coefficient of water (…

Recently, we have identified two astrocytic subpopulations in the cortex of GFAP-EGFP mice,
in which the astrocytes are visualized by the enhanced green–fluorescent protein (EGFP) …

Polydendrocytes (also known as NG2 glial cells) constitute a fourth major glial cell type in
the adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) that is distinct from other cell types. …

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) give rise to oligodendrocytes which myelinate
axons in the central nervous system. Although classically thought to be a homogeneous …

Brain tissue undergoes substantial activity-dependent reorganisation after stroke due to
neuronal plasticity, leading to partial functional recovery in patients. Concurrent myelin repair is …

Astrocytes respond to ischemic brain injury by proliferation, the increased expression of
intermediate filaments and hypertrophy, which results in glial scar formation. In addition, they …
