P129: Use of Stem Cells to Regenerate Degenerative Optic Nerve
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to convert to different types of cells and after dividing, they can produce their own cells or other cells. Axons of the retinal ganglion cells, from the optic nerve. These cells lose the ability to regenerate themselves before birth. Optic nerve degeneration can result from various causes including increased intraocular pressure, comp...
متن کاملOligodendrocyte precursor cells in the demyelinated multiple sclerosis spinal cord.
Lesions appearing in the CNS of patients in the chronic phase of the inflammatory, demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis often fail to repair, resulting in neurological dysfunction. This failure of remyelination appears, in many cases, to be due not to the destruction of the local oligodendrocyte precursor population, a source for new myelin-forming cells, but to the failure of the precursor...
متن کاملMyelin-specific multiple sclerosis antibodies cause complement-dependent oligodendrocyte loss and demyelination
Intrathecal immunoglobulin G (IgG) synthesis, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) oligoclonal IgG bands and lesional IgG deposition are seminal features of multiple sclerosis (MS) disease pathology. Both the specific targets and pathogenic effects of MS antibodies remain poorly characterized. We produced IgG1 monoclonal recombinant antibodies (rAbs) from clonally-expanded plasmablasts recovered from MS p...
متن کاملIncreased numbers of oligodendrocyte lineage cells in the optic nerves of cerebroside sulfotransferase knockout mice
Sulfatide is a myelin glycolipid that functions in the formation of paranodal axo-glial junctions in vivo and in the regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation in vitro. Cerebroside sulfotransferase (CST) catalyzes the production of two sulfated glycolipids, sulfatide and proligodendroblast antigen, in oligodendrocyte lineage cells. Recent studies have demonstrated significant increases in o...
متن کاملDemyelination versus remyelination in progressive multiple sclerosis.
The causes of incomplete remyelination in progressive multiple sclerosis are unknown, as are the pathological correlates of the different clinical characteristics of patients with primary and secondary progressive disease. We analysed brains and spinal cords from 51 patients with progressive multiple sclerosis by planimetry. Thirteen patients with primary progressive disease were compared with ...
