## Abstract We have found previously that pituitary adenylate cyclaseβactivating polypeptide (PACAP) increases the number of astrocytes generated from cultured mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) via a mechanism that is independent of the cyclic AMP/protein kinase A pathway (Ohno et al., 2005). In the p

## Abstract Recent studies suggest that adult neurogenesis can contribute significantly to recovery from brain damage. As a result, there is strong interest in the field in identifying potentially therapeutic factors capable of promoting increased expansion of endogenous neural stem cell (NSC) popu
In order to investigate the interaction between the nervous and immune systems, we have analyzed the effect of one of the neuropeptides, pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP), on microglia cells by the patch-clamp method.

## Abstract Specific metabolic features, such as glutamate reuptake, have been associated with normal functions of mature astrocytes. In this study, we examined whether these characteristics are acquired together with classical phenotypic markers of differentiated astrocytes. Differentiation of E14
