The number of cells expressing the myelin-supporting oligodendrocyte marker PLP-exon 3b remains unchanged in Wallerian degeneration

Following spinal cord trauma there is controversy as to whether myelin-supporting oligodendrocytes at a distance from areas of spinal cord damage undergo apoptosis. To examine the response of oligodendrocytes to axon degeneration, we counted the number of oligodendrocytes and oligodendrocyte precurs...
