New research from the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health investigates how a previously underappreciated type of cell in the brain and spinal cord, known as oligodendrocytes, potentially contributes to the progressive loss of motor neurons in Motor Neurone Disease (MND). This is a major step towards new drug discovery for the currently incurable disease affecting an estimated 400,000 people. Find out more about the research and its findings here.
