This review considers aspects of remyelination that require further clarification if successful strategies are to be devised to enhance remyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS). We speculate, based on our understanding of the rate with which oligoden...

Modelling large areas of demyelination in the rat reveals the potential and possible limitations of transplanted glial cells for remyelination in the CNS (2002)
Journal Article
Blakemore, W., Chari, D., Gilson, J., & Crang, A. (2002). Modelling large areas of demyelination in the rat reveals the potential and possible limitations of transplanted glial cells for remyelination in the CNS. Glia, 38(2), 155-168. https://doi.org/10.1002/glia.10067

Transplantation of myelin-forming glial cells may provide a means of achieving remyelination in situations in which endogenous remyelination fails. For this type of cell therapy to be successful, cells will have to migrate long distances in normal ti...

Efficient recolonisation of progenitor‐depleted areas of the CNS by adult oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (2002)

A widely quoted hypothesis for the failure of remyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS) is the exhaustion of the oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) pool that is strongly implicated as the source of remyelinating oligodendrocytes in demyelinating le...
