Joseph J. Volpe, M.D., director of the Division of Pediatric Neurology at Children's Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine, has received a 55482,000 grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development for con- tinued studies of the biochemical mechanisms of brain cell development. The five-year grant will extend the project to its 18th year. A long-term goal of the study is to determine whether there could be means of stimulating brain cell growth in patients who have had developmental deficiencies or in- juries, Volpe said. The research ex- plores the roles that lipids and glycoproteins, two components of the brain, play in cell development and differentiation. A new aspect of the study will be the isolation of the three types of brain cells — neurons, astrocytes and oligodendroglia. Rat brain cells will be cultured into pure samples of single cell types to better reveal how lipids and glycoproteins function in the development of each. "If we can define factors that Thumbs up Checkup: Fourth-year dental student Greg Groshan tells Matthew Remspecher the words his patient wants to hear — no cavities.
