Microglial cells in the healthy adult CNS possess a characteristic ramified morphology and show little or no expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or adhesion molecules. In contrast, microglial cells isolated from newborn rat brains inevitably show a nonramified amoeboid morphology an
Cellular distribution and activation by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) of classical (โฃ, โคI, โคII,โฅ), novel (โฆ, โ, , ), and atypical (, ) protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms were studied in cultured rat neonatal microglial and astroglial cells by Western blot analysis. Among the classical isoforms, only
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), neurturin (NTN), and persephin (PSP) constitute a subfamily of transforming growth factor-โคs (TGF-โคs) with prominent roles in the regulation of neuron survival and differentiation. Although numerous members of the TGF-โค superfamily are important re
