Abstract

A retrospective study of 366 primary brain tumours in childhood has been carried out. GFAP was detected in juvenile astrocytoma (76/121), adult astrocytoma (34/78), malignant glioma (0/8), other astrocytic tumours (2/4) and medulloblastoma (0/101). In eight medulloblastomas scanty positive cells were seen but were regarded as reactive rather than neoplastic. The presence of GFAP was only found to be of prognostic value in adult astrocytoma, where its occurrence was associated with a more favourable outcome.

## Abstract Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the principal component of the intermediary filaments in mature astrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS). The protein consists of three domains: the head, the coiled‐coil, and the tail. Here, we describe the isolation of an evolutionary co

During mouse brain maturation, GFAP-mRNA undergoes a two-step developmental expression. It increases between birth and day 15 (period of astrocytic proliferation) and then decreases until day 55 (period of astrocytic morphological differentiation).

To clarify the role of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)expressed glial cells in the circadian clock, we examined GFAP expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL) under various lighting conditions in mice. We demonstrated that GFAP expression did not sh
