Abstract excerpt
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) induce the differentiation of Serum-free Mouse Embryo (SFME) cells into astrocytes (D'Alessandro et al., 1994) as demonstrated by change in morphology, increase in Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) content and classification as both type 1 and 2 astrocytes....
