Expansion of Oligodendrocyte Progenitors for Myelin Repair

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Altschul Symposia Series ((ALSS,volume 4))

Abstract

The myelin sheath is a multilamellar extension of the cell membrane of the oligodendrocyte in the central nervous system (CNS) and of the Schwann cell in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Processed mainly during postnatal development, it is considered a stable structure in the adult nervous system. Since its function is to promote and secure electrical conduction, alteration or destruction of the myelin sheath during adult life can cause severe impairement of neurologic function. Recurrent events of demyelination in the CNS occur in multiple sclerosis, leading to the destruction and depletion of the oligodendroglial population. Therefore, the development of strategies to promote myelin repair by replacement of the affected oligodendroglial population could become instrumental in the treatment of demyelinating diseases.
