Abstract excerpt
Transferrin (Tf), classically known as the major iron-transport protein in mammals, also engages in potent promyelinating activity within the central nervous system by accelerating oligodendrocyte maturation. Since 1994, our group has shown that intrathecal or intranasal administration of apoTransferrin (aTf) promotes oligodendroglial differentiation and myelin protein expression in vivo and in vitro.
