Abstract excerpt
In a search of the growth factors possibly involved in brain ontogenesis we have examined the effects of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) on the growth and phenotypic expression of rat astroblasts in primary culture. Along TGF-beta 1 elicited only a slight negative effect on the growth of these cells. However, this factor was found to modulate the mitogenic effects of other growth factors. On...
