## Abstract Oligodendrocyte (OLG) death plays a major role in white matter dysfunction and demyelination following injury to the CNS. Axonal contact, communication, and neuronal activity appear to promote OLG survival and function in cell culture and during development. The application of electrica

A cDNA clone encoding a stimulatory G-protein a subunit (Gsa) was isolated from a cDNA library derived from cultured rat astrocytes. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA indicated that it corresponds to the Gsa-2 form of Gsa mRNA, one of four Gsa mRNAs known to be derived by alternative splicing from
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and neurturin (NTN) bind to GFR alpha-1 and GFR alpha-2 receptors, respectively, and their neurotrophic activity is mediated by the tyrosine kinase receptor, Ret. All these molecules were found to be expressed in primary cultures of rat glial cells,
The regulation of intracellular cyclic AMP (CAMP) formation by adenosine (Ado) and its analogues has been examined in primary cultures of rat-brain astrocytes and neurons. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, Ro 20-1724, basal levels of cAMP ranged from 40-120 pmoVmg protein in both c
