The role of protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha (PTPalpha) in oligodendrocyte development and CNS myelination
Oligodendrocytes are specialized cells of the central nervous system (CNS) that are responsible for axonal myelination. They are derived from precursors termed oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). In OPCs, the signal transduction pathways that regulate self-renewal versus differentiation remain...
