The Biology Of Myelin And Lipoproteins Within A Glial Network
Insight Into The Life Cycle Of Myelinneuronal Axons Are Insulated By Myelin Sheaths Which Ensure That Electrical Signals Are Processed At Higher Speed And With Greater Efficiency. Myelin Is Synthesised During Development, While Later In The Adult State It Has A Limited Turnover, And Undergoes A Degradative Phase During Ageing. The Aim Of The Eu-Funded Network Project Is To Understand How The Myelin-Producing Oligodendrocytes Interact With Other Glial Cells At Different Stages Of The Myelin Life Cycle. Understanding How The Metabolism Of Glial Cells Changes Upon Myelin Degeneration Has Important Consequences For Age Related Conditions And Neurodegenerative Disorders, Such As Alzheimer’S Disease.
