Quantification of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in human and cat optic nerve: implications for endogenous repair in multiple sclerosis.

abstract：:Integrins are transmembrane receptors that mediate cell-extracellular matrix and cell-cell interactions. The β1-integrin subunit is highly expressed by embryonic neural stem cells (NSCs) and is critical for NSC maintenance in the developing nervous system, but its role in the adult hippocampal niche remains unexplored...
