We had fun assembling images and describing approaches for imaging oligodendrocytes and myelin in vivo, in organotypic slices, and in fixed tissues. This work started in the lab of @jgrutzendler.bsky.social over 10 years ago and continues to keep us busy.

Activity-driven myelin sheath growth is mediated by mGluR5 - Nature Neuroscience Employing pharmacology, genetics and all-optical approaches in zebrafish, Braaker et al. find that neuronal activity influences the growth of myelin sheaths along axons by signaling through metabotrop...

For those who want a distraction and/ or are interested, here's the latest from the group, led by Phil Braaker

Yasmine Kamen's paper that establishes procaspase-3 as a marker for new oligodendrocytes was officially published and featured in This Week in The Journal.
Congrats to Yasmine and co-authors!

Incomplete remyelination via therapeutically enhanced oligodendrogenesis is sufficient to recover visual cortical function - Nature Communications Remyelination can restore neural function. Here, the authors characterize the drivers and limits of endogenous remyelination and explore a therapy that rescued remyelination deficits and accelerated n...

New paper out from the lab! Led by @gdfnunes.bsky.social and Lindsay Osso in collaboration with the lab of Dan Denman. Check it out! 🔬 🐭 🧠

New work from Yasmine Kamen shows that differentiating oligodendrocytes are filled with the zymogen procaspase-3. This provides a specific marker for new oligodendrocytes and suggests a role for this pathway in oligodendrocyte fate decisions.

This is great! Would appreciate being added.
