Spinal Cord Microglia Exhibit Impaired Repair Responses to Myelin Damage

Matthew C. Zupan, Jack M. Petersen, Addison C Stover, Nishama De Silva Mohotti, Meredith D. Hartley

This study compares microglial responses to myelin damage in the brain and spinal cord, finding that brain microglia support remyelination while spinal cord microglia exhibit impaired repair.

Temporal dynamics of CNS cholesterol esters correlate with demyelination and remyelination

Nishama De Silva Mohotti, Jenna M. Williams, Rashmi Binjawadagi, Hiroko Kobayashi, Disni Dedunupitiya, Jack M. Petersen, A. Denise R. Garcia, Meredith D. Hartley

This study shows that cholesterol ester levels rise during demyelination and decrease during remyelination in the brain but remain elevated in the spinal cord, suggesting a role for cholesterol esters in demyelinating diseases.
