Oligodendrocytes, a type of glial cell in the central nervous system, have a critical role in the formation of myelin around axons, facilitating saltatory conduction, and maintaining the integrity of nerve axons. The dysregulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation and homeostasis have been implicated in a wide range of neurological diseases, including dysmyelinating disorders (e.g.
