Oligodendrocytes, the glial cells specialized to synthesize myelin in the central nervous system, differentiate in primary rat brain cell cultures on a schedule similar to that observed in vivo. The schedule of oligodendrocyte differentiation and the rate of oligodendroglial progenitor cell prolifer
The development of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells is regulated by epigenetic factors which control their proliferation and differentiation. When oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, purified on a Percoll centrifugation gradient from neonate rat brain, are cultured in serum-free medium in the presence
## Abstract Proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) is important for initial myelination as well as for remyelination in demyelinating diseases. Previously, we showed that numerous OPCs and activated microglia, are present around multiple sclerosis lesions, and that they accumulate
