Oligodendrocytes myelinate axons in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). They
develop from precursor cells (OPCs), some of which persist in the adult CNS. Adult OPCs …

We have used clonal analysis and time-lapse video recording to study the proliferative
behavior of purified oligodendrocyte precursor cells isolated from the perinatal rat optic …

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) persist in substantial numbers in the adult brain in a
quiescent state suggesting that they may provide a source of new oligodendrocytes after …

Oligodendrocytes are post-mitotic cells that myelinate axons in the vertebrate central
nervous system (CNS). They develop from proliferating oligodendrocyte precursor cells …

The oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) has until recently been regarded as a lineage‐
restricted precursor cell. Considerable interest has been generated by reports suggesting …

The only known function of oligodendrocytes is to myelinate axons in the vertebrate CNS. In
this review, we consider how the number of oligodendrocytes is matched during …

Following experimental demyelination in rodents, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs)
proliferate and differentiate into myelin‐producing oligodendrocytes which effect robust …

HOW are the numbers of different cell types matched together during tissue development?
The nervous system has provided an excellent model system for understanding this …

Different CNS regions exhibit different temporal patterns of oligodendrocyte generation and
myelinogenesis. Characterization of oligodendrocyte-type-2 astrocyte progenitor cells (here …

Previous studies have indicated that newly formed oligodendrocytes are dynamic cells
whose production, survival, and differentiation depend upon axonal influences. This study …
