Abstract:
The activation of transforming growth factor (TGF)– erbB-1 and neuregulin– erbB-4 signaling pathways in hypothalamic astrocyteshas been shown to play a key role in the process by which the neuroendocrine brain controls luteinizing hormone-releasing ho

Keywords:
neuroendocrine; TGF ; TGF; ependymoglial cells; LHRH; cell plasticity; hypothalamus

Materials & Methods:
Tanycytes were seeded in cloning cylinders positioned on 37 mm culture chambers (MatTek Corp. Ashland MA) containing poly-L-ornithine- and laminin-coated glass coverslips as described above. After removal of the cylinder the cells were maintained
