## Abstract Skeletal muscle atrophy represents one of the main causes of poor outcome of microsurgical nerve reconstruction. Recent studies have pointed to the importance of the neuregulin/ErbB signaling pathway in the development and regeneration of the neuromuscular system. Here, we show by immun

Neuregulins (NRGs) are a family of growth factors involved in signaling between neurons and glial cells of the peripheral and central nervous system. NRGs are synthesized and secreted by a number of cell types including Schwann cells, neurons, and oligodendrocytes. NRG transduction signals are media
## Abstract Neuregulins (NRG) belong to the EGF family of growth factors, which are ligands of the ErbB receptors. Their expression in the adult heart is essential, especially when the heart is submitted to cardiotoxic stress such as that produced by anthracyclines. It is considered that ErbB4 is t
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is produced and released in response to injury in the central nervous system (CNS). While CNTF initially was characterized as a trophic factor for neurons, more recent evidence supports roles for this factor in survival, proliferation, and maturation of oligodendro
