A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (adam10) is essential for oligodendrocyte precursor development and myelination in the mouse brain

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Myelination is essential for ensuring fast and efficient propagation of action potentials along axons and providing metabolic trophic support for axons. Next, the authors crossed NG2-Cre mice (Cre is specifically expressed in OPCs) with ADAM10 loxp/loxp mice with conditional knockout of ADAM10 in OPCs and investigated the role and mechanism of ADAM10 on OPCs development and myelination in the CNS. ADAM10 loxp/loxp mice (from Prof. Duan) were crossed with heterozygous NG2-Cre mice (Jackson Lab) to generate ADAM10 loxp/-and NG2-Cre+/- mice were bred with ADAM10 loxp/loxp mice to . . .
