Abstract excerpt
The proliferative capacity of oligodendrocytes was investigated in the spinal white matter of the twitcher mouse, a murine model of a genetic demyelinating disease globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD), in which degeneration of oligodendrocytes due to metabolic perturbation has been well documented. In normal mice at 30 and 45 days of age, proliferating cells labeled with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) were scarce,...
