Abstract excerpt
Members of the CD44 family of cell surface hyaluronate-binding proteins have been implicated in cell migration, cell-matrix interactions and tumor progression. To determine whether these proteins might play a role in the normal functions of Schwann cells and in their tumorigenesis, we examined the patterns of CD44 expression in Schwann cells from rat peripheral nerve, rat Schwann cell tumor lines, and human...
