Astrocytes are neural cells of ectodermal, neuroepithelial origin that provide for homeostasis
and defense of the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytes are highly heterogeneous in …

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) account for 5% of the resident parenchymal central
nervous system glial cells. OPCs are not only a back-up for the loss of oligodendrocytes that …

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) originate in the ventricular zones (VZs) of the brain
and spinal cord and migrate throughout the developing central nervous system (CNS) …

The identity and degree of heterogeneity of glial progenitors and their contributions to brain
tumor malignancy remain elusive. By applying lineage-targeted single-cell transcriptomics …

In the central nervous system, NG2‐glia represent a neural cell population that is distinct
from neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. While in the past the main role ascribed to …

Establishment of oligodendrocyte identity is crucial for subsequent events of myelination in
the CNS. Here, we demonstrate that activation of ATP-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin …

Multipotent neural progenitor cells (NPCs) undergo self-renewal while producing neurons,
astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. These processes are controlled by multiple basic helix …

Astrocytes are one of the most abundant cell types in the mammalian central nervous
system, and are known to have a wide variety of physiological functions, including …

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) originate in localized germinal zones in the
embryonic neural tube, then migrate and proliferate to populate the entire central nervous …

Oligodendrocytes provide metabolic and functional support to neuronal cells, rendering
them key players in the functioning of the central nervous system. Oligodendrocytes need to …
