To learn more about the lives of oligodendrocytes, Robert Hill, a neurobiologist at Dartmouth College and coauthor on the study, turned to cell death. While Hill and his team have studied ...

They found that oligodendrocytes play a significant role in the abnormal neuronal hyperactivity in Alzheimer's disease and are a major source of amyloid β protein. The accumulation of abnormal ...

Damage to myelin, the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers, impairs the brain's ability to transmit signals efficiently ...

Enhanced brain cell health, including increased numbers of protective oligodendrocytes. Reduced brain inflammation in the exercise group (between 55% and 68% depending on the inflammatory ...

Can chemicals in everyday household and personal care products cause harm? Neurological conditions are at an all-time high. Dementia, migraines, and stroke are examples of nervous system concerns that ...

NG2 cells, or polydendrocytes, are a population of CNS cells that are distinct from neurons, mature oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and microglia. They can be identified by the expression of the NG2 ...

Enhanced brain cell health, including increased numbers of protective oligodendrocytes. Reduced brain inflammation in the exercise group (between 55% and 68% depending on the inflammatory ...
