## Abstract Summary: To explore the function of genes expressed by myelinating cells we have developed a model system that allows for the inducible ablation of predetermined genes in oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. The Cre/loxP recombination system provides the opportunity to generate tissueβsp

## Abstract Neural stem cells reside in defined areas of the adult mammalian brain, including the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Rat neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) isolated from this region retain their multipotency in vitro and in vivo after grafting into the adult brain. Recent studies h
## Abstract A reliable method to induce neural progenitor/stem cells (NPCs) into dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons has not yet been established. As well, the mechanism involved remains to be elucidated. To induce DAergic differentiation from NPCs, a cytokine mixture (CβMix) of interleukin (IL)β1Ξ², ILβ
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are known to play important roles in cellular growth and differentiation in the nervous system. The change in expression of gangliosides is correlated with crucial developmental events and is evolutionarily conserved among many vertebrate species. The emergence of neural pr
## Abstract Embryonic stem cell (ESC)βderived products have emerged as a promising cell source for neuroregeneration. C17.2 neural precursor cells were noted to express genes of neurotrophins and neuroprotective factors and to be enable to enhance proliferation, neuritogenesis, and differentiation
