Reactive astrocyte COX2‐PGE2 production inhibits oligodendrocyte maturation in neonatal white matter injury
30 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Inflammation is a major risk factor for neonatal white matter injury (NWMI), which is associated with later development of cerebral palsy. Although recent studies have demonstrated maturation arrest of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in NWMI, the identity of inflammatory mediators with direct effects on OPCs has been unclear. Here, we investigated downstream effects of pro-inflammatory IL-1β to induce...
