Exploration of protective strategies against oligodendrocyte cell death in Krabbe disease models

Krabbe disease (KD) patients accumulate psychosine (galactosylsphingosine), a cytotoxic metabolite for oligodendrocytes, inducing early demyelination. Apoptosis has been suggested that plays an important role in psychosine-induced oligodendrocytes cell death in culture and in brains of Krabbe patien...
