During the development of peripheral nerves, neural crest cells generate myelinating and non-myelinating glial cells in a process that parallels gliogenesis from the germinal layers of the CNS.

A new study reveals that transplanting healthy human glial progenitor cells into adult mice with Huntington’s disease can delay motor and cognitive decline and extend lifespan.
