A culture system to study oligodendrocyte myelination processes using engineered nanofibers

Abstract

Primary rat oligodendocytes were cultured in the presence of electron-spun nanofibers of varying sizes as a model to study myelination processes in the mammalian central nervous system. The authors study the role of fiber diameter on the initiation of concentric wrapping by oligodendrocytes.
