Myelin Impairs CNS Remyelination by Inhibiting Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cell Differentiation www.jneurosci.org/cgi/content/abstract/26/1/328Mark R. Kotter, Wen-Wu Li, Chao Zhao, and Robin J. M. Franklin Cambridge Centre for Brain Repair and Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB3 0ES, United Kingdom Demyelination in the adult CNS can be followed by extensive repair. However, in multiple sclerosis, the differentiation of oligodendrocyte lineage cells present in demyelinated lesions is often inhibited by unknown factors. In this study, we test whether myelin debris, a feature of demyelinated lesions and an in vitro inhibitor of oligodendrocyte precursor differentiation, affects remyelination efficiency.
