## Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) exerts multiple neurotrophic actions on cultured neurons from the ciliary ganglion of chick embryo, among them promotion of neuronal survival and of neurite outgrowth. To understand the specificity of the signal transduction cascades involved in the

Previous literature data show that blockade of A(2A) adenosine receptors via selective antagonists induces protection in various models of neurodegenerative diseases. The mechanisms underlying this effect are still largely unknown. Since it is known that excessive reactive astrogliosis is a factor c
## Abstract Phospholipase D (PLD) is implicated in a variety of physiological processes that reveal it to be a member of the signal transducing phospholipases. We found that PLD1 is activated when basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stimulates neurite outgrowth of an immortalized hippocampal cell
Objectives/Hypothesis: Radiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for head and neck cancer. However, in addition to the target tumor, normal salivary glands are also included in the irradiation field. This unavoidably results in dry mouth syndrome as a side effect. In this study, the prote
It has been suggested that gangliosides can influence the growth of cells by modulation of growth-factor-receptor signalling. The activation of endothelial cells (EC) during angiogenesis is crucial for tumour growth and for metastasis, also for numerous other physiological and pathological situation
