          Aging Brain Cells Have Prolonged Death Process

          Mature oligodendrocytes, crucial for brain function and myelin production, have an unusually prolonged death process after damage, surviving up to 45 days post-trauma, a stark contrast to the rapid demise of their younger counterparts within 24 hours. This study illuminates a previously unknown pathway of cell longevity, suggesting a potential shift in strategies for treating aging-related damage and neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis.

          More evidence Parkinson’s disease may start in the gut

          Enteric neurons appear to play a key role in the development of Parkinson's disease. The findings support the hypothesis and previous studies that the neurodegenerative disease may start in the gut before spreading to the brain. Researchers also found oligodendrocytes were affected during the early stages of Parkinson's, even before the loss of dopaminergic neurons.
