## Abstract To understand the functional interactions between the TrkA and p75 nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors, we stably transfected LAN5 neuroblastoma cells with an expression vector for ETβR, a chimeric receptor with the extracellular domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), an

## Abstract Neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial tumor of childhood, is derived from neural crest progenitor cells that fail to differentiate along their predefined route to sympathetic neurons or sympathoβadrenergic adrenal cells. Although expression of the highβaffinity neurotrophin recept
The development and survival of sympathetic neurons is critically dependent on the related neurotrophic factors nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT3), the actions of which must be executed appropriately despite spatial and temporal overlaps in their activities. The tyrosine receptor kin
In mouse mammary tumorigenesis, p53 mutations facilitate tumorigenesis in concert with other oncogenic alterations. Ionizing radiation enhances tumorigenesis in preneoplastic mammary outgrowth lines and induces p53-dependent apoptosis. We asked if normal p53 function modulates radiation-induced tumo
