What are the molecular mechanisms by which thyromimetics prevent oligodendrocyte death in neuroinflammation?

OPEN

The abstract shows T3 and sobetirome protect oligodendrocytes against cell death in culture and preserve oligodendrocyte numbers in EAE, but the specific cellular pathways mediating this neuroprotection are not identified. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing targeted therapies for multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases.
