An inhibitor of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan synthesis promotes central nervous system remyelination

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) secreted by astrocytes are known to inhibit OPC differentiation and remyelination. Here, the authors identify a novel CSPG synthesis inhibitor and find it can rescue OPC differentiation in vitroand accelerate remyelination in mice following focal demyelinati...
