Abstract

We have found that glial progenitor cells isolated from the optic nerves of adult rats are fundamentally different from their counterparts in perinatal animals. In our studies on bipotential oligodendrocyte-type-2 astrocyte (O-2A) progenitor cells, we have seen that O-2Aadutt progenitor cells can be distinguished from O-2Aperinatal progenitors by their morphology and antigenic pheno type, their much longer cell cycle time (65 h versus 18 h), slower rate of migration rate (4μmh-1versus 21μm h–1), and their time course of differentiation into oligodendrocytes or type-2 astrocytes in vitro (⩽3 days versus >5 days). At least some of the differences between 0–2Aadult and 0–2Aperinatal progenitor cells appear to be clearly related to the differing cellular requirements of the adult and perinatal central nervous system (CNS). The properties of the 0–2Aadult progenitor cells may make these cells ideally suited for the needs of the adult CNS, where rapid exponential increases in the number of oligodendrocytes and 0–2A progenitor cells would be inappropriate. However, the properties of the 0–2Aadult progenitor cells are such that they may not be able to replace oligodendrocytes in sufficient numbers to repair extensive or recurrent damage in the adult brain, such as in patients suffering from the human demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis. Moreover, available information about other tissues suggests that the transition from perinatal to adult progenitor cell types may rep resent a developmental mechanism of general import ance.

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.
