## Abstract Glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) promotes the survival and functions of neurons. It has been shown to be a promising candidate in the treatment of ischemia and other neurodegenerative diseases. We transfected mouse astrocytes in primary cultures with a human GDNF gene

## Abstract We investigated whether certain hydrophobic dipeptides, Leu‐Ile, Leu‐Pro, and Pro‐Ile, which partially resemble the site on FK506 that binds to immunophilin, could stimulate glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) synthesis in cult
## Abstract Intravenous administration of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) prepared from adult bone marrow has been reported to ameliorate functional deficits after cerebral artery occlusion in rats. Several hypotheses to account for these therapeutic effects have been suggested, and current th
## Abstract The transcription factor Pitx3 is crucial for the development and differentiation of dopamine (DA) neurons. Our previous work has shown the Pitx3 can up‐regulate the expression of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in neurobla
Adult rat retinal ganglion cells (RGC) undergo degeneration after optic nerve transection. Studies have shown that exogenously applied neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can attenuate axotomy-induced as well as developmental RGC death. Here, we examined whether gli
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays several important roles in the survival and recovery of mature neurons during ischemia. We examined the possibility that the expression of GDNF mRNA and the release of GDNF protein are regulated differentially in cultured astrocytes from the s
