Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) inflicts a severe burden on patients and lacks effective treatments. Owing to the poor regenerative capabilities of endogenous oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) following SCI, there is a growing interest in alternative sources, such as human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs). TET3 is a key DNA demethylase that plays an important role in neural differentiation, but its role in OPC formation is not well understood.

Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Transplantation Reduces White Matter Injury in a Fetal Goat Model.

Background: Preterm white matter injury (PWMI) is the most common type of brain injury in preterm infants, in which, oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are predominantly damaged. In this study, human OPCs (hOPCs) were administered to a fetal goat model of PWMI to examine the differentiation potential and therapeutic effects of the cells on PWMI.

Methods: Preterm goat fetuses were subjected to hypoxic-ischemia (HI) via intermittent umbilical cord occlusion (5 min × 5).

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder involving demyelination. The cuprizone model is commonly used to study MS by inducing oligodendrocyte stress and demyelination. The subventricular zone (SVZ) plays a key role in neurogenesis, while the neuronal/glial antigen 2 (NG2) is a marker for immature glial cells, involved in oligodendrocyte differentiation.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is primarily caused by the exposure of preterm infants with underdeveloped blood vessels to high oxygen concentrations. This damages the astrocytes that promote normal vascular development, leading to avascularity, pathological neovascularization, and retinal detachment, and even blindness as the disease progresses. In this study, the aim was to investigate the differences in the characteristics of astrocytes and blood vessels between wild-type (WT) and genetically modified mice overexpressing platelet-derived growth factor subunit A (PDGF-A) in the retina immediately after high oxygen exposure, a protocol in the oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model of ROP.
