## Abstract The inner ear of mammals uses neurosensory cells derived from the embryonic ear for mechanoelectric transduction of vestibular and auditory stimuli (the hair cells) and conducts this information to the brain via sensory neurons. As with most other neurons of mammals, lost hair cells and
A well-known feature of the mammalian retina is the inverse relation that exists in central and peripheral retina between the density of retinal ganglion cells and their dendritic field sizes. Functionally, this inverse relation is thought to represent a means by which retinal coverage is maintained
During development of the heart, the endocardium of the developing cushion tissue transforms into mesenchymal cells that rapidly invade the underlying extracellular matrix. This invasive process, along with subsequent proliferation and differentiation of the mesenchyme, are essential for the normal
Schwann cell proliferation is stimulated by contact with neurons or exposure to growth factor ligands for tyrosine kinase receptors, effects of which are potentiated by cAMP. Here we show that treatment of rat Schwann cells with recombinant human glial growth factor 2 (rhGGF2), but not with other mi
