Oligodendrocyte Injury and Pathogenesis of HIV-1-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders

Oligodendrocytes wrap neuronal axons to form myelin, an insulating sheath which is essential for nervous impulse conduction along axons. Axonal myelination is highly regulated by neuronal and astrocytic signals and the maintenance of myelin sheaths is a very complex process. Oligodendrocyte damage c...
