## Abstract Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are the predominant oligodendrocyteβlineage stage in the cerebral hemispheres of neonatal rat. Prior studies have shown that OPCs are highly vulnerable to hypoxicβischemic injury, yet the mechanisms are not well understood. P2X~7~ receptor (P2X~7~R
## Abstract Extracellular nucleotide diβ and triphosphates such as ATP and ADP mediate their effects through purinergic P2 receptors belonging to either the metabotropic P2Y or the ionotropic P2X receptor family. The P2X~7~R is a unique member of the P2X family, which forms a pore in response to li
