Oligodendrocytes (from Greek 'cells with a few branches'), also known as oligodendroglia, are a type of neuroglia whose main function is to provide the myelin sheath to neuronal axons in the …

Oligodendrocyte, a type of neuroglia found in the central nervous system of invertebrates and vertebrates that functions to produce myelin, an insulating sheath on the axons of nerve fibres. …

Jan 29, 2025 · Oligodendrocytes, through myelin, provide to the axons nutrients, regulate ions and molecular levels, and enhance cytoskeletal function, strengthening the axon’s structural …

Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS). They are the end product of a cell lineage which has to undergo a complex and precisely timed program of …

Mar 22, 2024 · Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cell in the central nervous system (CNS) that are primarily responsible for the formation and maintenance of myelin sheaths around neurons.

Jul 20, 2025 · Oligodendrocytes are specialized cells in the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. As a form of neuroglia, they are non-neuronal cells that …

Nov 11, 2025 · Oligodendrocytes produce the myelin sheath insulating neuronal axons (analogous to Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system), although some …

Oligodendrocytes are cells in the central nervous system that produce myelin, which forms protective sheaths around nerve fibers. They are highly active during early CNS development …

Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS) that are generated from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC). OPC are distributed throughout the …

Oligodendrocytes are specialized glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS), crucial for myelinating axons, enhancing nerve signal transmission, and supporting neuronal function.
