  Novel Hypotheses on the Role of Oligodendrocytes in Neurocysticercosis and Their Implications for Drug Development: A Comprehensive Review
  Author(s): Lourdes de Fatima Ibanez Valdes and Foyaca-Sibat Humberto*
  
  Background: Cysticercosis (Ct) is a preventable and curable zoonotic parasitic disease that results from a cestode infection by the pig tapeworm Taenia solium (Ts). Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the term used to describe cysticercus that is located in the brain parenchymal, intraventricular system, Subarachnoid Space (SAS), cerebellum, brainstem, optic nerve, or spinal cord. Less commonly occurring symptoms and signs include headache and epileptic seizures/epilepsy. We are in search for a publication about the function of oligodendrocytes in the pathophysiology of non-communicable cancers (NCCs). We examine this matter and provide some theories on its function and its relevance in the pathophysiology of secondary epilepsy and calcified NCC epileptic episodes. Method: We searched the medical literature comprehensively, looking for.. Read More»
