In order to investigate the influence of neuron-glia interaction on astrocyte differentiation, we used a transgenic mouse bearing part of the gene promoter of the astrocytic maturation marker GFAP linked to the β€-galactosidase (β€-gal) reporter gene. Addition of embryonic cerebral hemisphere (CH) neu

We recently identified a cDNA encoding a human brain specific trypsinogen (trypsinogen IV). In order to test whether trypsinogen IV is involved in CNS diseases of, or injury response in, mammalian brain, a mouse model was developed in which the human trypsinogen IV was expressed specifically in neur
## Abstract Primary astrocyte cultures are the most commonly used in vitro model for neurobiological studies. We speculated that different protocols might induce differences not only in the percentage of astrocytes but also in their biological characteristics. In this study, we investigated the eff
