The expression of serotonin receptors by cultured rat Schwann cells is a function of their differentiation: correlation with a quiescent myelinating phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Previously we reported that cultured rat Schwann cells express 5-HT2A receptors. In the present study we compared the serotonin-responsiveness of Schwann cells with their stage of differentiation. Serotonin-responsiveness occurred in cells that expressed a myelinating marker but not a nonmyelinating marker. We also examined cells to see if those responding to 5-HT were selectively proliferating or quiescent. This...
