Development of the nervous system depends on signals that instruct neurons when to divide, differentiate, survive, or die. There are now two known distinct classes of factors noted for their neurotrophic activities-the family of factors collectively known as the neurotrophins, and ciliary neurotroph

## Abstract One premise regarding the mechanism of injury‐evoked neuroregeneration is that injured cells induce the release of neurotrophic factors to trigger neurogenesis. Extracellular purine nucleotides exert multiple neurotrophic actions in the central nervous system mediated via activation of
## Abstract Chemokine receptors, in particular, CXCR4 and CCR5, mediate human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) infection of immunocompetent cells and the apoptosis of these cells. However, the virus does not infect neurons. Yet through a variety of mechanisms, HIV promotes glial cell activatio
## Abstract Studies have shown that cytokines released following CNS injury can affect the supportive or cytotoxic functions of microglia. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6)‐family cytokines are among the injury factors released. To understand how microglia respond to IL‐6 family cytokines, we examined the effec
