## Abstract The many and varied proposed applications of cell replacement therapies in the treatment of human disease states, particularly those arising from cell loss or dysfunction, have been discussed widely in both the scientific and popular press. Although an attractive concept, cell therapies

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The activity of a base‐exchange enzyme system, specific for the polar headgroups of brain phospholipids, was measured in both C 1300 mouse neuroblastoma (clone 41 A3) and human glioma 138 MG cell lines. This base‐exchange is thought to occur between free nitrogenous bases and membrane‐bound phospholipids. The incorporation of free ^14^C‐labeled ethanolamine and L‐serine was determined in undifferentiated and morphologically differentiated cells. Both cell lines showed a significant increase in ethanolamine and L‐serine incorporation upon differentiation.

## Abstract The synthesis of a protein unique to the nervous system, the “S100‐protein,” has been studied in a clonal line of rat glial cells. It has been shown that these cells do not begin to accumulate “S100‐protein” until the cultures enter a phase of density‐dependent inhibition of cell prolif
