| Popis: | There are currently no adequate treatments for white-matter injury, which often follows central nervous system maladies and their accompanying neurodegenerative processes. Indeed, the white matter is compromised by the deterioration of the blood–brain barrier and the demyelination of neuronal axons. Key repairs to the white matter are mediated by oligodendrocyte lineage cells after damaging events. Oligodendrocytes are supported by other cells in the neurovascular unit and these cells collaborate in processes such as angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and oligodendrogenesis. Understanding the various interactions between these cells and oligodendrocytes will be imperative for developing reparative therapies for impaired white matter. This minireview will discuss how oligodendrocytes and oligodendrocyte lineage cells mend damage to the white matter and restore brain function ensuing neural injury. |
