Role of NG2 Expressing Cells in Addiction: A New approach for an Old Problem

Role of NG2 Expressing Cells in Addiction: A New approach for an Old Problem

Neuron-glial antigen 2 (NG2) is a proteoglycan expressed predominantly in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). NG2-expressing OPCs (NG2-OPCs) are self-renewing cells that are widely distributed in the grey and white matter areas of the central nervous system. NG2-OPCs can mature into premyelinat...
