Expression of smooth muscle cell-specific proteins in neural progenitor cells induced by agonists of G protein-coupled receptors and transforming growth factor-beta.

abstract：:Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in glia results in significant physiological effects for both the glia and the neighboring neurons; but in many cases, the mGluR subtypes and signal transduction mechanisms mediating these effects have not been determined. In this study, we report that mGluR acti...
