Abstract excerpt
In this study, we explored the role of specific protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in glial cell proliferation and on the expression of the astrocytic markers GFAP and glutamine synthetase using C6 cells as a model. Analysis of the expression of the various PKC isoforms in control and differentiated...
