Oligodendrocytes Producing Myelin

Caption

The image shows oligodendrocyte cells before and after activin-A treatment. Oligodendrocytes that are not making myelin are in green. Oligodendrocytes that are starting to make myelin are in red. Activin-A treatment of oligodendrocytes stimulates them to start making myelin.
