Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) play a significant role in synaptic pruning, a new study reveals.
During brain development, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) contribute to the neural pruning process, helping to shape the healthy development of the brain.
Researchers report in glial cells, drug induced plasticity can reduce the motivation for heroin. The findings could help develop new treatments for opioid addiction.
A new study outlines the mechanism involved in remyelination.
A collaborative research paper uncovers a novel mechanism of altered information processing between neurons.
Researchers have identified a set of compounds which could be used to treat MS. These compounds boost a population of progenitor cells which can repair damage to nerve fibers caused by the disease.
New research shows the transmembrane protein NG2 controls orientation of cell migration towards a wound.
Monitoring progenitor cells in the brains of living mice, researchers discover these cells remain highly dynamic in the adult brain. Progenitor cells can transform into cells that insulate nerve fibers and help form scars that aid in tissue repair, study suggests.
