STAT3 and SOCS3 regulate NG2 cell proliferation and differentiation after contusive spinal cord injury
NG2 cells, also known as oligodendrocyte progenitors or polydendrocytes, are a major component of the glial scar that forms after spinal cord injury. NG2 cells react to injury by proliferating around the lesion site and differentiating into oligodendrocytes and astrocytes, but the molecular mechanis...
