Neuroepithelial progenitor cells from forebrains of newborn rat pups develop into "mature" astrocytes in an epidermal growth factor-containing medium free of serum (Von Visger et al: Exp Neurol128:34,1994). Eight-week-old "mature" astrocyte cultures on poly-L-lysine-coated dishes were exposed to an

The effects of ischemia (removal of oxygen and glucose for 4 h) and anoxia (removal of oxygen alone) on astrocytes were studied in dissociated cultures of El4 spinal cord containing both neurons and astrocytes. In addition, a group of cultures was treated with a low N a f , low Ca2', and high K+ med
## Abstract It is known that expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) as an astrocyteβspecific marker can be regulated by levels of circulating gonadal steroids during postnatal development. In addition, astrocytes play an important role in the physiology of the hippocampus, a brain reg
Ultrastructural studies of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus suggest that an active retraction and extension of astrocytic processes (structural plasticity) from between magnocellular neuroendocrine neurons plays a role in the release of oxytocin, vasopressin, or both peptides that ac
