## Abstract Many regions of the adult central nervous system contain cycling cells. Such cells comprise a relatively small fraction of the total population of the CNS. Work over decades has attempted to determine the normal fates of these cells and their fates under pathological conditions. The rec

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) plays a key role in normal development. Recent studies show that IGF-I exerts a wide variety actions in the central nervous system during development as well as in adulthood. This report reviews recent developments on IGF-I actions and its mechanisms in the centr
Apoptosis and the apoptosis-regulatory gene bcl-2 have been suggested from animal studies to be important during the development of the central nervous system (CNS), but information on apoptotic activities of the developing human CNS has been scarce. To establish spatial and temporal distributions o
Manduca sexta allatotropin (Mas-AT) was isolated and first characterized as a peptide that stimulated juvenile hormone biosynthesis in adult lepidopteran corpora allata and was subsequently shown to have cardioacceleratory activity in the pharate adult. In this study, we identified the cells in the
The thrombospondin (TSP) family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins are widely expressed in the developing and adult central nervous system although their function remains poorly defined. We have used cell culture techniques to analyse the expression and function of TSPs in glial cells derived fro
T cell co-stimulation through the CD28 receptor on T cells is critical to the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In this study, expression of the co-stimulatory ligands B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86), as well as the receptors CD28 and CTLA-4, were quantitated in central nervo
