## Abstract Typeβ2 transglutaminase (TGβ2) is a multifunctional enzyme involved in the regulation of cell differentiation and survival that recently has been shown to play an emerging role in astrocytes, where it is involved in both proliferation and differentiation processes. Growth factors (GFs)
## Abstract Astroblasts from brain hemispheres of newborn rats were cultivated for 5 days in a complete medium containing 10% fetal calf serum. Cultures were then grown in basal medium in absence of serum. In these conditions, after 15 days only a few cells remained. When the basal culture medium w
To evaluate the role of ceramide in glial growth, primary cultures of quiescent astrocytes from rat cerebellum were stimulated to proliferate by mitogenic doses of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Parallel to the bFGF mitogenic effect was a marked, and persistent, decrease in cellular ceramide
