The present study showed that insulin (0.01 pg/ml, = 2 nM) inhibited [3H]-thymidine incorporation in support cells, most likely Schwann cells, of the cultured frog sciatic nerve. A 25-35% inhibition took place in regenerating nerve preparations as well as in preparations devoid of neuronal protein s

Characteristics of voltage-dependent currents in cultured frog Schwann cells were investigated by the whole-cell clamp technique. An inward current was detectable a t a membrane potential level more positive than -50 mV and reached a maximum value at about -10 mV, while no rectifying channel was pre
Schwann cell proliferation was studied in cultured segments of the rat sciatic nerve by measurement of [ 3 H] thymidine incorporation or through bromodeoxyuridine-(BrdU)-labelling and immunocytochemistry. The aim was to delineate mechanisms involved in the injury-induced proliferative response of Sc
