During the first postnatal week, glial cell production for the neocortex continues in the neocortical subventricular zone. During this time, the proenkephalin gene (PEnk) is expressed in numerous cells of the subventricular zone and of the adjacent neocortex. When neocortical astroglial cells are br

We have previously shown by immunocytochemistry in rat primary glial cultures that transferrin (Tf) is an early developmental marker for oligodendrocytes. The present work addresses the issue of Tf gene expression and synthesis by neural cells in vitro. For this purpose, we used rat embryonic neuron
Neuronal and glial cells in primary culture prepared from the hypothalamic-brain stem areas of one-day-old rat brains were analyzed for the presence of angiotensinogen messenger RNA (mRNA) to further confirm our previous conclusion that the brain contains an exclusive angiotensin system.

## Abstract The expression of adenosine A~1~ receptors was investigated using [^3^H]2‐chloro‐N^6^ ‐cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA) in 8‐day‐old cultured neurons from fetal rat forebrain grown in serum‐free medium. [^3^H]CCPA bound specifically and with high affinity (Kd = 2.9 nM) to a homogeneous popul
The mechanism underlying age-related neurodegenerative diseases is still an area of significant controversy. Increased evidence suggests that oxidative stress contributes importantly to neuronal damage observed in the brains of aged animals and in neurodegenerative diseases. Glutathione (GSH), the m
## Abstract Cells of the nucleus pulposus (NP) in the intervertebral disc are derived directly from the embryonic notochord. In humans, a shift in NP cell population coincides with the beginning of age‐related changes in the extracellular matrix that can lead to spinal disorders. To begin identifyi
