Abstract excerpt
We report that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen for oligodendrocyte type-2 astrocyte (O-2A) progenitor cells derived from the optic nerves of adult rats. Moreover, O-2Aadult progenitors cultured in PDGF express the range of properties we have described previously for O-2A...
