After the discovery of nerve growth factor, a classic model of neurotrophin action was developed. In this model, nerve endings compete for limited quantities of neurotrophic factors produced in neuronal target tissues. Neurotrophins are bound with high-affinity receptors expressed on the neuronal me
Disappointing functional recovery following peripheral nerve repair can be improved by neurotrophic growth factors. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is unique in that it has independent neurotrophic and myotrophic actions. The aim of this study was to explain this finding by establishing the existen
