Oligodendrocyte progenitors: adult stem cells of the central nervous system (2014)
Journal Article
Crawford, A. H., Stockley, J. H., Tripathi, R. B., Richardson, W. D., & Franklin, R. J. (2014). Oligodendrocyte progenitors: adult stem cells of the central nervous system. Experimental Neurology, 260, 50-5. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.expneurol.2014.04.027

Oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPs) are a major proliferating cell population within the adult CNS. In response to myelin loss or increasing demand, OPs have the capacity to differentiate into mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes. The name ‘oligodendro...

Cisplatin is a highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy agent, which is often used to induce nausea and emesis in animal models. The cytotoxic properties of cisplatin also cause adverse events that negatively impact on animal welfare preventing repeated...
