Chari, D. M., Zhao, C., Kotter, M. R., Blakemore, W. F., & Franklin, R. J. (2006). Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system. Journal of Neuroscience Research, 83(4), 594-605. https://doi.org/10.1002/jnr.20763

High dose corticosteroid (CS) administration is a common mode of therapy in treatment of acute relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS) but the effects of CS on remyelination and the cellular mechanisms mediating this repair process are controversial. We... Read More about Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system.

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) transplantation is unlikely to offer a means of preventing X-irradiation induced damage in the CNS (2006)

Oligodendrocyte lineage cells [oligodendrocytes and their parent cells, the oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs)] are depleted by X-irradiation and progenitor cell transplantation has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy to counteract radiation...
