Newest firstCannabinoids are known to modulate oligodendrogenesis and developmental CNS myelination. However, the cell-autonomous action of these compounds on oligodendroglial cells in vivo, and the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects have not yet been studied. Here, by using oligodendroglial precursor cell (OPC)-targeted genetic mouse models, we show that cannabinoid CB1 receptors exert an essential role in modulat…
Open article record in new tab ↗Adult oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) give rise to myelinating oligodendrocytes through life and play crucial roles in brain homeostasis and plasticity during health and disease. Cannabinoid compounds acting through CB1 receptors promote the proliferation and differentiation of OPCs in vitro and facilitate developmental myelination and myelin repair in vivo. However, CB1 receptor expression in adult OPCs i…
