Rejuvenation of Regeneration in the Aging Central Nervous System
Open accessAbstract
Remyelination is a regenerative process in the central nervous system (CNS) that produces new myelin sheaths from adult stem cells. The decline in remyelination that occurs with advancing age poses a significant barrier to therapy in the CNS, particularly for long-term demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Here we show that remyelination of experimentally induced demyelination is enhanced in old mice exposed to a youthful systemic milieu through heterochronic parabiosis. Restored remyelination in old animals involves recruitment to the repairing lesions of blood-derived monocytes from the young parabiotic partner, and preventing this recruitment partially inhibits rejuvenation of remyelination. These data suggest that enhanced remyelinating activity requires both youthful monocytes and other factors, and that remyelination-enhancing therapies targeting endogenous cells can be effective throughout life.

“These findings, as well as many follow up studies,66,67,68 including the demonstration that plasma infusions alone are sufficient to exert these effects,65,69 have unequivocally demonstrated that factors in the blood are able to communicate information from one or more source tissues to other tissues throughout the body.”

“Pairing of an old animal with a young animal (Y/O), a manipulation that restores remyelination efficiency in the older animal4, led to increased densities of M2 microglia/macrophages in the lesions in the older animal relative to those seen in the O/O pairings (Fig. 6b, c).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
