A new gatekeeper to control oligodendrogenesis
Tim Czopka
TL;DR
A new study identifies a marker for a specific type of brain cell that controls the formation of myelin, which is crucial for nerve function.
Contribution
The study introduces a novel marker for an OPC subpopulation involved in myelination.
Findings
A new marker for oligodendrocyte precursor cells was identified.
This marker is associated with controlling oligodendrogenesis and myelination.
Abstract
The diversity of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) is not well understood and is actively discussed in the field. A new study in PLOS Biology describes a novel marker for an OPC subpopulation that controls oligodendrogenesis and myelination.
