A passive cable to excite oligodendrocyte precursor glia.
Not long ago, glial cells were thought to have a typical linear rectification of membrane current and lack action potentials, a defining feature of neurons. But these boundaries are blurring. Oligodendrocytic precursor cells (OPCs), identified by expression of the proteoglycan NG2, appear during early postnatal life and maintain the capacity in adulthood to proliferate into oligodendrocytes pro...
متن کاملThe effect of glia-glia interactions on oligodendrocyte precursor cell biology during development and in demyelinating diseases
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) originate in specific areas of the developing central nervous system (CNS). Once generated, they migrate towards their destinations where they differentiate into mature oligodendrocytes. In the adult, 5-8% of all cells in the CNS are OPCs, cells that retain the capacity to proliferate, migrate, and differentiate into oligodendrocytes. Indeed, these endogen...
متن کاملPassive Conduction - Cable Theory
Theoretical models describing propagation of synaptic potentials have evolved significantly over the past century. Synaptic potentials are the root of neural activity, electrical potential differences caused by fluxes of biological ions across the neural membrane. The first important breakthrough came through affirmation of the “leaky cable” theory proposed by Hermann. His theory described the ...
متن کاملPassive Intermodulation Distortion in Connectors, Cable and Cable Assemblies
Introduction: Although not a new problem and well known to the satellite communications and microwave trunking industries, until the use of cellular phones became widespread, Passive Intermodulation Distortion (PIM) was of little concern to the connector designer. Until five years ago, most connector engineers had never heard of the phenomenon. Now, due to the frequency plans of today’s modern ...
متن کاملOligodendrocyte precursor cells reprogrammed to become multipotential CNS stem cells.
During animal development, cells become progressively more restricted in the cell types to which they can give rise. In the central nervous system (CNS), for example, multipotential stem cells produce various kinds of specified precursors that divide a limited number of times before they terminally differentiate into either neurons or glial cells. We show here that certain extracellular signals...
