Newborn rat astroglia cells possess epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth
factor (IGF) receptors, which suggests that these growth factors regulate their growth and …

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) accumulates in astrocytes during development. We have
characterized the increase in GFAP mRNA during development of the rat brain by using …

Fibroblast growth factor stimulates proliferation and subsequent differentiation of precursor
cells isolated from the neuroepithelium of embryonic day 10 mice in vitro. Here we show that …

Cell cultures were derived from adult human brain biopsies [from cortical gray (cultures 9‐
HB‐G and 33‐HB‐G) and white (culture 14‐HB‐W) and stroke‐injured white matter (culture …

In the cerebral cortex of some species, the gradual appearance of glial fibrillary acidic
protein (GFAP) is often interpreted as reflecting the parallel maturation of neuronal …

Astrocytes derived from adult bovine corpus callosum contain large amounts of mitogenic
activity for capillary endothelial cells and astrocytes. On the basis of radioimmunoassay …

Previous studies in vitro indicate that basic fibroblast growth factor participates in the
survival, proliferation and differentiation of immature neurol cells, predicting that it may have …

Using a new double‐labeling immunofluorescence technique, we assessed various growth
factors on their ability to promote proliferation of cultured human glial cells. Cells studied …

During mouse brain maturation, GFAP‐mRNA undergoes a two‐step developmental
expression. It increases between birth and day 15 (period of astrocytic proliferation) and …

We have found glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), the major component of astrocyte
intermediate filaments, to be expressed in cell lines of the RT4 peripheral neurotumor family …
