Specification and maintenance of oligodendrocyte precursor cells from neural progenitor cells: involvement of microRNA-7a

A gain-of-function study showed that miR-7a promoted the generation of oligodendrocytes (OL) and retained the cells in their precursor stage. Inhibiting miR-7a reduced oligodendrogenesis but expanded neuronal population. miR-7a might exert these effects by repressing the expression of proneural gene...
