title: [Regulation of neuronal development by astroglia].
abstract: Accumulating lines of evidence indicated that glial cells play important roles in regulating the neuronal development. It has been reported by a number of authors that astroglia promote the survival of neurons and the neurite outgrowth by several diffusible factors and membrane-associated factors. In the present article, we have reviewed the astroglia-derived bioactive substances which possibly affect the neuronal development in the central nervous system.
