This project investigates the role of NG2 cells in the central nervous system, focusing on their differentiation into oligodendrocytes and their interactions with neurons. It aims to understand how these processes relate to neurodegenerative diseases.
Loss of myelin and oligodendrocyte dysfunction is being recognized in many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease or Epilepsy, although the mechanisms are not yet understood.
Oligodendrocytes are generated from NG2 cells, a glial cell population that covers the entire parenchyma of the central nervous system.
