Abstract excerpt
During development, oligodendrocytes are generated from a bipotential glial stem cell, the oligodendrocyte-type-2 astrocyte precursor (O-2A). O-2A cells are under the mitogenic influence of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) released from type-1 astrocytes. In vitro experiments have shown that O-2A cells stimulated by PDGF are limited to a set number of divisions and then differentiate to oligodendrocytes...
