Although myelin can be regenerated in the form of remyelination\, the efficiency of this process decreases with aging and th e progression of MS. Our lab has discovered that glial interactions are cr itical in maintaining myelin health and regulating remyelination post-inju ry. For instance\, we have seen that the absence of microglia is sufficien t to initiate spontaneous demyelination. In addition\, we have identified surprising mechanisms by which microglia support CNS remyelination. Here\, I will present our latest work understanding how microglia influence olig odendrocyte heterogeneity and the dynamics of myelin damage and repair. Th is has important implications for devising novel therapeutic strategies to support myelin health in aging and disease.\n DTSTART:20240507T200000Z DTEND:20240507T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: The Disappearing Act: How Microglia Influenc e Myelin Health Across the Lifespan URL:/neuro/fr/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-dis appearing-act-how-microglia-influence-myelin-health-across-lifespan-354644 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
