✦ Synopsis
One major success of studying neural cell development in tissue culture has been the discovery of the 0-2A cell. This bipotential cell generates oligodendrocytes or, under certain conditions, a type of astrocyte. This essay considers the evidence that the characteristic properties demonstrated by the 0-2A cells in vitro are an accurate reflection of oligodendrocyte development in v i v a
