Tropic actions of extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides have been described in both the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as for numerous other cell types. These effects on cellular differentiation and proliferation are mediated by specific cell surface PI and P2 receptors. In some

Abstract
The postโembryonic growth of the notochord, sensory retinal cells, cartilage and gut epithelium in frog tadpoles, trout and lamprey is described. Increase in the number of notochord and sensory retinal cells results only from the mitotic division of cells which have not yet undergone the structural modifications characteristic for these cells. The specialized and functional cell does not divide. In the frog tadpole the cartilage cells increase by mitotic division of the fullyโformed and functional cell: in addition there are centers of proliferation consisting of small, rapidlyโdividing cells. The trout is similar except that there are no centers of proliferation, in addition amitotic division occurs. The gut epithelium grows by mitotic division of the functional constituent cells. During division the cell assumes a spherical shape and its functional activities are suspended.

The cytoskeletal protein actin exists in vertebrates as six different isoforms, which are difficult to identify conclusively because of a high degree (> 90%) of overall sequence homology. We have used IEF immunoblotting in combination with a panel of isoform-specific and -selective antibodies to ana
Visible light of moderate intensity causes two and perhaps three types of division inhibition in Euglena gracilis and related cells. Fluorescent light causes a general inhibition of growth and division which is temperature-dependent. Pigmentation or complex organic media partially lifts this inhibit
