  • DIFFERENTIAL LABELING OF CELLS
    Publication number: 20080109914
    Abstract: The invention relates to the generation of an animal model that exhibits neural cell-specific expression of a marker gene that correlates to remyelination or myelin repair. The compositions and methods embodied in the present invention are particularly useful for drug screening and/or treatment of demyelination disorders, particularly in identifying compounds that promote or inhibit remyelination.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 10, 2007
    Publication date: May 8, 2008
    Inventors: Brian Popko, Roumen Balabanov, Trent Watkins
  • Animal models for demyelination disorders
    Publication number: 20080096202
    Abstract: This invention is in the field of neurology. Specifically, the invention relates to the discovery and characterization of molecular components that play a role in neuronal demyelination or remyelination. In addition, the invention relates to the generation of an animal model that exhibits hypomyelination. The compositions and methods embodied in the present invention are particularly useful for drug screening and/or treatment of demyelination disorders.
    Type: Application
