Inflammation induced by innate immunity in the central nervous system leads to primary astrocyte dysfunction followed by demyelination

"Demyelination and oligodendrocyte degeneration in this model follows astrocyte pathology. Similar structural abnormalities were also seen in a subset of active lesions in multiple sclerosis. Our studies suggest that astrocyte injury may be an important early step in the cascade of lesion formation in brain inflammation."
