FGF-2 converts mature oligodendrocytes to a novel phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 differentially regulates oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation and differentiation in culture, and modulates gene expression of its own receptors, in a developmental and receptor type-specific manner (Bansal et al., 1996a,b). Three FGF receptors (types 1, 2, 3) are expressed in postmitotic, terminally differentiating oligodendrocytes. Exposure of such cells to FGF-2 results in:...
