The NG2 proteoglycan: Past insights and future prospects
Abstract
The NG2 chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan is a valuable marker for several types of incompletely-differentiated precursor cells, including oligodendrocyte progenitors in the central nervous system, developing mesenchymal cells in cartilage, muscle, and bone, and pericytes/smooth muscle cells in developing vasculature. In addition to extending our knowledge about the developmental roles of these cell types, current studies on NG2 are also providing information about the molecular mechanisms through which the proteoglycan itself influences progenitor development. This research suggests that interaction of NG2 with extracellular and intracellular ligands regulates signaling events that are important for both cell proliferation and cell migration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
