Asymmetric production of surface-dividing and non-surface-dividing cortical progenitor cells.
Mature neocortical layers all derive from the cortical plate (CP), a transient zone in the dorsal telencephalon into which young neurons are continuously delivered. To understand cytogenetic and histogenetic events that trigger the emergence of the CP, we have used a slice culture technique. Most divisions at the ventricular surface generated paired cycling daughters (P/P divisions) and the maj...
متن کاملTension at the surface of the dividing sea-urchin egg.
Several theories have been put forward to explain the mechanics of cleavage of animal cells. According to the expanding membrane theory of Mitchison and Swann (Mitchison, 1952; Mitchison & Swann, 1955; Swann & Mitchison, 1958), the cleaving furrow is passively pushed in as a result of 'active' expansion of poles; while the constricting ring theory (Marsland, 1950, 1956 a, b) anticipates that th...
متن کاملStopping cells from dividing
than inhibiting cell division? The quest to identify means to stop cells from proliferating has driven generations of researchers to investigate the mechanisms regulating the cell division cycle. The cell cycle consists of several phases. Progression from one phase to the next depends on the activity of specific proteins. In order to pass the checkpoints between two phases, several classes of p...
متن کاملCooperation between PDGF and FGF converts slowly dividing O-2Aadult progenitor cells to rapidly dividing cells with characteristics of O- 2Aperinatal progenitor cells
We have shown previously that oligodendrocyte-type-2 astrocyte (O-2A) progenitor cells isolated from adult rat optic nerves can be distinguished in vitro from their perinatal counterparts on the basis of their much slower rates of division, differentiation, and migration when grown in the presence of cortical astrocytes or PDGF. This behavior is consistent with in vivo observations that there i...
متن کاملExcitatory GABAergic activation of cortical dividing glial cells.
Adult neocortex contains dividing satellite glia population even though their characteristics and functions have still remained unknown. Nestin(+)/NG2(+) cells as major fraction of dividing glial cells express bicuculline-sensitive gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABA(A)) receptors and receive GABAergic inputs. Due to their high [Cl(-)](i), GABAergic activation depolarized the cells and then induced...
