Bone Morphogenetic Proteins Induce Astroglial Differentiation of Oligodendroglial–Astroglial Progenitor Cells
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
We have used bipotent postnatal cortical oligodendroglial-astroglial progenitor cells (O-2As) to examine the role of inductive signals in astroglial lineage commitment. O-2A progenitor cells undergo progressive oligodendroglial differentiation when cultured in serum-free medium, but differentiate into astrocytes in medium supplemented with FBS. We now report that the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), a major...
