This study shows that inflammation disrupts oligodendrocyte precursor cell lipid metabolism, impairing remyelination, and that activating liver X receptors can restore lipid balance and promote myelin repair.

This study shows that dPGA-coated substrates support longer-term mixed glial cultures, enabling repeated isolation of immature oligodendrocyte lineage cells compared to PDL-coated substrates.

This study identifies AANAT1's role in astrocytes to regulate sleep homeostasis by modulating monoamine levels and rebound sleep after deprivation in Drosophila.

This paper develops a deep learning method to quantify oligodendrocyte ensheathment in vitro, achieving accuracy comparable to human experts and enabling high-throughput analysis.

This study shows that netrin-1 expressed by neurons in the adult brain is critical for spatial memory formation, as its deletion impairs memory without affecting anxiety or grooming behavior.
