  • Publication number: 20120233713
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for inducible ablation of neural cells, in particular non-proliferating cells, such as oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. The methods and systems include an animal model that can be specifically induced to display phenotypic traits or characteristics of a demyelination condition. The methods and systems disclosed herein are useful for drug screening, by identifying compounds or agents that promote remyelination or reversal of phenotypic traits or characteristics of demyelination conditions.
