Abstract excerpt
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) play important roles during the development of the nervous system. On the basis of our previous observations that binding of the neural CAM (N-CAM) inhibits astrocyte proliferation and alters gene expression, we hypothesized that N-CAM may influence the balance between the proliferation and the differentiation of neural progenitor cells. Rat and mouse hippocampal progenitor cells...
