Serum
glial cell line - derived neurotrophic factor levels and impulsivity in heroin addiction: a cross-sectional, case - control study of 129 heroin addicts.
The authors transplanted human cortical ‐ derived neural progenitor cells engineered to secrete
glial cell line ‐ derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) into the cortex of a rat model of ALS, where the cells migrated, matured into astrocytes, and released GDNF.
Glial cell line - derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) was selected based on clear evidence that it increases neuronal sprouting, prevents cell death [20], [21] and has neuroprotective effects in the brain [11], [22]--[24], spinal cord [12] and retina [25]--[30], and because receptors for GDNF are expressed within mature retina [26], [31]--[34].
Functional efficacy was further enhanced when hNPC were genetically engineered to secrete
glial cell line - derived neurotrophic factor.
Expression of the mRNA encode for
Glial cell line - Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF) was detected in cumulus cells as shown previously [22] as well as oocytes in our study.
Glial cell line - derived neurotrophic factor promotes the survival of early postnatal spinal motor neurons in the lateral and medial motor columns in slice culture.
Svendsen injected into their brains a protein known to enhance neural development, called
glial cell line - derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF).
Not exact matches
The protein, called
glial cell -
line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), was first isolated in 1993 and has so far only been tested in animals.
Similarly, biopsies are obtained from many subjects and skin
cells (fibroblasts) are isolated from these specimens, dedifferentiated to iPS
lines, and reprogrammed and studied as neural and
glial lines in culture.
Further phenotypic characterization revealed that LKB1 is required for the differentiation and maintenance of two NCC - derivatives, Schwann
cells and the ENS. Using a model of neural crest stem
cell line, we demonstrated that Lkb1 is key for neural crest - derived
glial commitment.
