Oligodendrocytes show vacuolar cytoplasmic swelling, there is intense congestion of venules with numerous haemorrhages, and swelling and hypertropgy of endothelial cells. 少突胶质细胞胞浆呈空泡状，小静脉则出现剧烈扩张及多量出血，血管内皮细胞肿胀肥大。
Tests in rats, using human cells, have shown that oligodendrocytes injected this way can indeed help repair myelin sheaths and restore the ability of nerve cells to carry signals. 在老鼠实验中，使用人类的细胞，显示了用这种方式注视少突胶质细胞确实能帮助修复髓鞘并重建神经细胞传递信号的能力。
