In animal experiments, nerve transection is followed by expression of nerve growth factor receptors (NGFR) on Schwann cells of both motor and sensory nerve fibres distally to the site of the lesion. To determine whether denervated Schwann cells in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) similarly expres
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to exert neurotrophic effects on motor neurons as well as mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. Because GDNF promotes survival of motor neurons in vivo and in vitro and rescues motor neurons from naturally occurring cell death, the pote
