[PDF][PDF] Human iPSC-derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells can myelinate and rescue a mouse model of congenital hypomyelination

S Wang, J Bates, X Li, S Schanz, D Chandler-Militello… - Cell stem cell, 2013 - cell.com
Neonatal engraftment by oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) permits the myelination of
the congenitally dysmyelinated brain. To establish a potential autologous source of these …

[PDF][PDF] Neonatal chimerization with human glial progenitor cells can both remyelinate and rescue the otherwise lethally hypomyelinated shiverer mouse
