## Abstract Microglia are a major neuroglial component of the CNS, playing an important role as resident immunocompetent and phagocytic cells in the CNS in the event of injury and disease. To understand the role of microglia in the CNS in health and diseases, we have recently established an immorta
Human motoneuron cell lines will be valuable tools for spinal cord research and drug discovery. To create such cell lines, we immortalized NCAM Ο© /neurofilament Ο© precursors from human embryonic spinal cord with a tetracycline repressible v-myc oncogene. Clonal NCAM Ο© / neurofilament Ο© cell lines di
Several immortalized and malignant adult human prostatic epithelial cell lines have recently been developed. The three most widely used carcinoma cell lines, DU-145, PC-3, and LNCaP, developed between 1977 and, have greatly contributed to our present understanding of prostate cancer. Before a cell l
Human SK-N-AS neuroblastoma and U-87MG glioblastoma cell lines were found to secrete relatively high levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). In response to growth factors, cytokines, and pharmacophores, the two cell lines differentially regulated GDNF release. A 24-hr exposure
