Early demyelination by off-target complement injury in a mouse model of neuromyelitis optica

Selin Kenet, Marina Herwerth, Shahrzad Askari, Katharina Eichenseer, Klaus Dornmair, Xuebin Qin, Christine Stadelmann, Jeffrey L. Bennett, Bernhard Hemmer, Thomas Misgeld

This study shows that in a mouse model of NMOSD, demyelination occurs due to off-target complement injury to oligodendrocytes, not directly from astrocyte loss.

Local demyelination rekindles oligodendrocyte precursor dynamics and remyelination in old age

Katharina Eichenseer, Shahrzad Askari, Llazar Shkurti, Thomas Misgeld, Nicolas Snaidero

This study shows that OPCs in aging retain remyelination potential, which can be reactivated by demyelination, improving myelin repair.

Selective Cortical Myelination Reflects Axon-Driven Progression of the BCAS1-positive Oligodendrocyte Lineage

Huang Zi, Alexander Goldbrunner, Shahrzad Askari, Katharina Eichenseer, Thomas Misgeld, Nicolas Snaidero

The paper investigates the mechanisms of selective cortical myelination, finding that early myelination is axon-driven and influenced by interactions with specific neuronal partners.
