Rapid and efficient generation of oligodendrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells using transcription factors.

abstract：:Glutamate release activates multiple receptors that interact with each other and thus determine the response of the cell. Exploring these interactions is critical to developing an understanding of the functional consequences of synaptic transmission. Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) inhibits N-m...
