Researchers
are proposing for a first time that multiple sclerosis (MS) is
triggered by the death of a specific cell population within the central nervous
system called oligodendrocytes. The study, titled “Oligodendrocyte death
results in immune-mediated CNS demyelination,” was published in the journal
Nature Neuroscience. Oligodendrocytes, together with Schwann cells, are the
central nervous system (CNS) cells responsible […]
