Dynamic changes of CD44 expression from progenitors to subpopulations of astrocytes and neurons in developing cerebellum.

We previously reported that CD44-positive cells were candidates for astrocyte precursor cells in the developing cerebellum, because cells expressing high levels of CD44 selected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) gave rise only to astrocytes in vitro. However, whether CD44 is a specific c...
