Markers for Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells (OPCs)

Improving OPC ExpansionThe data provided in this publication demonstrates that the OPC yield from SVZ-derived cell cultures can be improved with the PDGF-BB isoform in comparison to classical bFGF-EGF, or PDGF-AA-based protocols. Additionally, it would be expected that the OPC-enriched cultures obtained from NSC/NPC exposure to PDGF-BB and heparin generate cells suitable for cell transplantation for treating demyelinating diseases.
