Abstract

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) have been reported to interact with cerebral microvessels, but the extent and spatiotemporal regulation of this relationship across maturation and hypoperfusion-induced stress remain incompletely defined. Here, we quantified OPC-vessel relationships in the mouse corpus callosum using PDGFR-α/OLIG2/CD31 immunohistochemistry and distance-based spatial analysis,…
