Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the major constituent of glial filaments and is restricted within the CNS to astrocytes. As with other classes of intermediate filament proteins, the regulation of GFAP expression is poorly understood. Utilizing highly purified cultures of astrocytes and a c

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
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
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) increases in astrocytes following axotomy of facial motoneurons. In the present study we quantified GFAP synthesis both in regenerating facial nuclei after nerve crush and in nonregenerating facial nuclei after nerve resection. An increase in GFAP synthesis dur
## 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 posit
