Journal ArticleDOI

Astrocytes: biology and pathology

TL;DR: Astrocyte functions in healthy CNS, mechanisms and functions of reactive astrogliosis and glial scar formation, and ways in which reactive astrocytes may cause or contribute to specific CNS disorders and lesions are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regeneration beyond the glial scar

TL;DR: Chondroitin and keratan sulphate proteoglycans are among the main inhibitory extracellular matrix molecules that are produced by reactive astrocytes in the glial scar, and they are believed to play a crucial part in regeneration failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult neurogenesis in the mammalian central nervous system

TL;DR: Advances in the understanding of adult neurogenesis will not only shed light on the basic principles of adult plasticity, but also may lead to strategies for cell replacement therapy after injury or degenerative neurological diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive astrocytes protect tissue and preserve function after spinal cord injury.

TL;DR: The findings show that reactive astrocytes provide essential activities that protect tissue and preserve function after mild or moderate SCI, and suggest that identifying ways to preserve reactive astracytes, to augment their protective functions, or both, may lead to novel approaches to reducing secondary tissue degeneration and improving functional outcome after SCI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glial inhibition of CNS axon regeneration

TL;DR: The molecular basis of inhibitory molecules in CNS myelin as well as proteoglycans associated with astroglial scarring are evaluated and their contributions to the limitation of long-distance axon repair and other types of structural plasticity are evaluated.

Biology of Oligodendrocyte and Myelin in the Mammalian Central Nervous System

TL;DR: This review deals with the recent progress related to the origin and differentiation of the oligodendrocytes, their relationships to other neural cells, and functional neuroglial interactions under physiological conditions and in demyelinating diseases.
