In this study, we will examine
whether glial cells and certain proteins secreted from these cells influence axon regeneration and guidance in the optic nerve in adult mice.
Whether GBPs are the only secreted factors capable of performing this function, and whether they are also able to regulate ILP secretion in other cells like the glial cells, remains to be disc

whether they are also able to regulate ILP secretion in other
cells like the
glial cells, remains to be discovered.
As a first step towards determining
whether human
glial progenitor
cells (hGPCs) can generate functionally distinct astrocyte populations, we exposed embryonic hGPCs isolated from spinal cords of 9.5 week old abortuses to BMP or CNTF.
