Oligodendrocyte precursor cells are purported to migrate over long distances into the various brain regions where they differentiate into oligodendrocytes and fulfill their appropriate tasks, i.e., myelination of axons. Here we characterize motile oligodendrocyte precursor cells in detail. Video-tim
Primary rat adipose precursor cells, maintained in the minimal chemically defined medium (ITT medium) able to promote differentiation, have been used to investigate the ability of several agents to modulate their proliferation and their differentiation. Fetuin and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), whi
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a growth and survival factor for oligodendrocyte lineage cells and induces myelination. Its actions are modulated by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) that are present in the extracellular fluids or on the cell surface. Additionally, IGFBPs are also known to exert
## Abstract Following experimental demyelination in rodents, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) proliferate and differentiate into myelinβproducing oligodendrocytes which effect robust remyelination. In contrast, remyelination in multiple sclerosis, the major human demyelinating disease, is gen
