Abstract excerpt
Adhesion molecules play important roles in the development and regeneration of the CNS and PNS. We found that the immunoglobulin superfamily recognition molecule L1 influences proliferation and differentiation of neural precursor cells. Substrate-coated L1 reduced proliferation of precursor cells in a dose-dependent manner and increased neuronal and decreased astrocytic differentiation when compared with...
