Microglia-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Oligodendrocyte Maturation by Transcriptionally Regulating Mitochondrial Molecular Pathways - Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology
Degeneration of myelinating oligodendrocytes and the resulting breakdown of the myelin sheath are key drivers of neurodegeneration and disability across numerous central nervous system pathologies. Thus, a compelling strategy to preserve neuronal function is to promote endogenous myelin repair by oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by pro-regenerative microglia have been shown to enhance OPC maturation and remyelination across different experimental m...

Astrocyte diversity is greatly influenced by local environmental modulation. Wang et al. report a critical role for astrocytic primary cilia in transmitting local cues that drive the region-specific diversification of astrocytes within the developing mouse brain.
