BACKGROUND. An in vitro model of prostatic stromal cells suitable for experimental studies of the pathogenesis of BPH is still lacking. We therefore standardized the isolation, cultivation, and characterization of human prostatic stromal cell lineages. METHODS. Stromal cells were isolated from a sur

The present series of experiments demonstrate that a polypeptide activity present in rat serum induces a proliferative response in cultured rat Schwann cells. Schwann cells in multi-well tissue culture plates were incubated in medium containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum and serial dilu
Single channel currents have been recorded from cultured adult human Schwann cells. In both cell-attached and -excised (inside-out) patches, openings from a high-conductance (360 pS) channel were observed; measurements of the zero-current potential indicated that the channel was predominantly select
C-erbB receptor/neuregulin signalling plays a significant role in Schwann cell function. In vivo, Schwann cells up-regulate expression of c-erbB receptors in the first month after injury, but receptor expression is down-regulated with time to levels that are not detectable immunohistochemically. The
