In vivo conversion of astrocytes to oligodendrocyte lineage cells in adult mice demyelinated brains by Sox2

This study provides a new strategy for endogenous production of myelinating cells. After optimizing the experimental conditions for safety and feasibility, this approach may contribute into future cell based therapies in patients with white matter insults as like as those with multiple sclerosis.
