Abstract excerpt
P19 embryonal carcinoma cells differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, and fibroblast-like cells following induction with retinoic acid. The mature neurons are capable of neurotransmitter release, and from functional synapses. We have previously shown that high culture density suppresses the choli...
