LiCl, a well-known vegetalising agent, interferes with the commitment of stem cells to nerve cells and nematocytes in Hydra attenuata. Treatment with 20 mM LiCl inhibits commitment to nerve cells, treatment with 1 mM LiCl inhibits commitment to nematocytes. However, LiCl does not prevent stem cells

โฆ Synopsis
The tumour-promoting phorbol ester 12-0tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) interfers with nerve cell production in Hydra when applied to the animals' culture medium. Precursor cells exposed to 0.2 nM TPA during the first half of their S-phase are prevented from differentiating into nerve cells. Precursor cells which start their S-phase following a treatment with TPA give rise to nerve cells. The frequency is higher than in untreated control animals.
