Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms underlying developmental myelination have therapeutic potential following CNS injury and degeneration. We report that transplanted central glial (CG)-4 cells had a diminished myelinating capacity in myelin-deficient (md) rats when cells express a mutated form of Tau (Tau [688]), which binds Fyn but not the microtubules. In the brain of the md rats, Tau [688]-transfected CG-4 cells displayed a...
