Substances which regulate expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) were examined in embryonic rat hippocampal cultures containing both neurons and glial cells. Both cell types expressed NGF mRNA when cultivated in vitro. Lipopolysaccharide, an activator of macrophages, elicited a significant increase

Cytokines regulate nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis during inflammatory processes. Since cytokmes are also involved in the inflammatory processes of autoimmune rheumatic diseases, we examined levels of NGF in patients with rheumatoid or other types of chronic arthritis. NGF was present in the syn
## Abstract ## Objective Midkine (MK), a heparinβbinding growth factor, promotes growth, survival, and migration of various cells. The essential role of MK in migration of inflammatory cells has been shown using mice deficient in the MK gene (Mdk^β/β^ mice). We undertook this study to investigate
## Abstract Atypical protein kinase Cs zeta and lambda/iota play a functional role in the regulation of NGFβinduced differentiation and survival of pheochromocytoma, PC12 cells [Coleman and Wooten, 1994; Wooten et al., 1999]. Here we demonstrate an NGFβdependent interaction of aPKC with its binding
## Abstract The submandibular glands of mice with testicular feminization (Tfm/Y) and their normal adult male littermates (Ta/Y) were studied by immunocytochemical techniques for the demonstration of epidermal growth factor (EGF), nerve growth factor (NGF), renin and protease A. In the glands of bo
