The geometric and spatial constraints of the microenvironment induce oligodendrocyte differentiation
Open accessAbstract
The oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) arises from the subventricular zone (SVZ) during early vertebrate development to migrate and proliferate along axon tracts before differentiating into the myelin-forming oligodendrocyte. We demonstrate that the spatial and temporal regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation depends intimately on the axonal microenvironment and the density of precursor cells along a specified axonal area. Differentiation does not require dynamic axonal signaling, but instead is induced by packing constraints resulting from intercellular interactions. Schwann cells and even artificial beads bound to the axonal surface can mimic these constraints and promote differentiation. Together, these results describe the coordinately controlled biophysical interaction of oligodendrocyte precursors within an axonal niche leading to self-renewal and differentiation.

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.
