Article Synopsis
- A unicellular marine microalga is rich in polysaccharides, which have great biological benefits and can increase the biomass's value by optimizing their extraction.
- The study used response surface methodology to find the best conditions for extracting polysaccharides, focusing on factors like extraction time, temperature, and water ratio.
- The optimized conditions yielded a maximum of 25.48% polysaccharides using microwave-assisted extraction, with temperature being the most crucial factor for enhancing the polysaccharide yield.
Oligodendrocytes are the myelin-producing cells of the central nervous system (CNS). A variety of brain disorders from "classical" demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, schizophrenia, depression, Down syndrome and autism, are shown myelination defects. Oligodendrocyte myelination is regulated by a complex interplay of intrinsic, epigenetic and extrinsic factors.

At present, molecular control of Bergmann glia specification from cerebellar radial glia is not fully understood. In this report, we show that ZEB2 (aka, SIP1 or ZFHX1B), a Mowat-Wilson syndrome-associated transcriptional regulator, is highly expressed in Bergmann glia, but hardly detectable in astrocytes in the cerebellum.
