Interaction between neuron and glia in the culture system

Human Cell
J ItoT Kato

Abstract

Neuron and glia in culture produce varied trophic factors including extracellular matrix, growth factor cell adhesion factor, and cell growth inhibitory factor, and further secrete them into the culture medium. These factors are classified into two kinds of factors in the view-point of mechanism of action, an autocrine factor with the self-production and -stimulation, and a paracrine factor with the adjacent cell stimulation through the extracellular space but not via the blood stream. In the central nervous system, these trophic factors produced by both neuron and glia are thought to regulate the cell growth and differentiation of those cells by autocrine or paracrine system, and support the function of the central nervous system.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
