We have developed an in vitro culture system to study the regulation of proliferation and
differentiation of neural precursor cells contained within the neuroepithelium of embruonic …

In reactive gliosis, astrocytes undergo morphological and biochemical changes which can
be mimicked in vitro by treatment with bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor) or cAMP. To …

The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a glial-specific intermediate filament protein,
which is expressed in astrocytes in the central nervous system, as well as in astrocytoma cell …

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is expressed exclusively in astrocytes in the central
nervous system. In order to characterize individual cultured cells in which the GFAP …

Glia maturation factor (GMF) was tested on separate cultures of glioblasts and fibroblasts
isolated from the same rate fetuses. The astrocytic marker glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein …

Ghal fibrlllary acidic (GFA) protein has been demonstrated to be a major constituent of
astrocytes. Utilizing immunofluorescence staining of GFA protein, features of normal fibrous …

The distribution of basic fibroblast growth factor in cultured astrocytes and oligodendrocytes
was examined using immunocytochemistry. The results demonstrate a localization of basic …

The mature oligodendrocyte, though able to divide under certain circumstances, has been
regarded as incapable of changing into a phenotypically plastic cell type. To further explore …

The nervous system‐specific proteins: synaptin, D1, D2, D3, glial fibrillary acidic protein
(GFA) and 14‐3‐2, were quantified in dissociated cerebral cells from the foetal rat brain at …

Recombinant human glia maturation factor beta (GMF-beta) reversibly inhibits the
proliferation of neoplastic cells in culture by arresting the cells in the G0/G1 phase. This …
