## Abstract Oligodendrocyte precursor cells require exogenous neurotrophinโ3 (NTโ3) for differentiation into oligodendrocytes. We transfected precursor cells with the gene for NTโ3 and looked for changes in their development into myelinโforming cells. The expression of NTโ3 in transfected cells was

## Abstract Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes produce myelin sheaths of widely varying sizes. How these cells determine the size of myelin sheath for a particular axon is incompletely understood. Axonal diameter has long been suspected to be a signal in this process. We have analyzed myelin sheath
## Abstract Receptorโmediated Ca^2+^ signals are a common signal transduction mechanism in all living cells, including microglia. Recent years have brought major advances in our understanding of microglial Ca^2+^ signaling. More than 20 receptor/ligand interactions leading to Ca^2+^ signals in micr
## Abstract In the vertebrate brain, much remains to be understood concerning the origin of glial cell diversity and the potential lineage relationships between the various types of glia. Besides astrocytes and myelinโforming oligodendrocytes, other macroglial cell populations are found in discrete
