... mice and in WT mice (control) were examined using the immunofluorescence technology. Results: VCCs were mainly distributed in the around (peripheral) central canal (CC) and the nuclei of brain stem in adult WT mice. VCCs proliferated and differentiated into astrocytes and directionally migrated from...

..., particularly in the posterior horn region at the progression stage. A majority of VCCs in the anterior, the lateral and the posterior horn of grey matter (outside of EZ) generated astrocytes, but no neurons, oligodendrocytes and microgliocytes. Our results suggested that there was a potential astrocyte...
