Interestingly, the ablation of monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1)a lactate transporterfrom OPCs resulted in hypomyelination and axonal degeneration in mature and older (1824-months-old) mice, highlighting the understudied role played by OPCs in myelination among the adult brain (Philips et al., 2021)
