All vertebrates started out with a glial blood-brain barrier 4-500 million years ago.

abstract：:Short term and chronic dBcAMP effects on the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in astroglial primary cultures are investigated. Short (48 h) and long (more than 7 days) treatments with the cAMP derivative induce both cell shape changes and an increase in GFAP immunolabelling. Such effects are only a...
