Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the effect of extracellular stimuli on the differentiation state of the CA77 thyroid C-cell line as a model to understand the control of neural crest cell differentiation. In contrast to the endocrine C-cell phenotype, we found that CA77 cells have a neuronal phenotype characterized by laminin-induced neurites, neuronal antigens, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) mRNA expression....
