## Mechanistic Overview OPC differentiation blockade contributes to white matter degeneration in early-stage AD starts from the claim that modulating PDGFRA within the disease context of Alzheimer's disease can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "# OPC differentiation blockade contributes to white matter degeneration in early-stage AD ## Overview Alzheimer's disease (AD) is classically characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau pathology concentrated in gray matte
