## Abstract We screened for genes whose expression is significantly upβ or downregulated during Wallerian degeneration in adult rat sciatic nerve with cDNA arrays. Fibroblast growth factorβ5 (FGFβ5) mRNA seemed to be induced. This was confirmed by northern blotting and in situ hybridization, as wel

## Abstract Rat sciatic nerve Schwann cells either do not proliferate, or proliferate very slowly, in medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). They were previously shown to respond only to a limited number of mitogens associated with cells of central and peripheral nervous systems, which app
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) promotes axonal regeneration in the peripheral nervous system and this effect is enhanced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). We decided, therefore, to study the effects of these factors on axonal regeneration in the adult rat spinal cord. Semipermeable pol
