Abstract Background It is widely believed that cell-size checkpoints help to coordinate cell growth and cell-cycle progression so that proliferating eukaryotic cells maintain their size. There is strong evidence for such size checkpoints in yeasts which maintain a constant cell-size distribution as they proliferate even though large yeast cells grow faster than small yeast cells. Moreover when yeast cells are shifted to better or worse nutrient conditions they alter their size threshold within one cell cycle. Populations of mammalian cells can also maintain a constant size distribution as they proliferate but it is not known whether this depends on cell-size checkpoints. Results We show that proliferating rat Schwann cells do not require a cell-size checkpoint to maintain a constant cell-size distribution as unlike yeasts large and small Schwann cells grow at the same rate which depends on the concentration of extracellular growth factors. In addition when shifted from serum-free to serum-containing medium Schwann cells take many divisions to increase their size to that appropriate to the new condition suggesting .
