The Dale's law postulates that a neuron releases the same neurotransmitter from all its branches. In the case of mulitple neurotransmitters it would require all transmitters to be released from all branches. The retinal cholinergic amacrine cells contain and release ␥-aminobutyric (GABA) and, theref

To determine whether oxytocin (OT) could be added to the list of growth factors acting on neoplastic cells of nervous origin, we investigated the presence of oxytocin receptors (OTR) in human primary neuroblastomas and glioblastomas and related cell lines. OTR were demonstrated both at mRNA level (u
Oxytocin receptors (OTRs) are expressed in endometrial cells and oxytocin (OT) participates in endometrial functions. In cancers derived from other OT target tissues, such as breast and neural tissues, the expression of OTRs and the antiproliferative effect of OT on cancer cells has been previously
## BACKGROUND. In vitro studies have shown an antiproliferative effect of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) against various nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cell lines. However, clinical trials of combined interleukin-2 and TNF-␣ in patients with advanced NSCLC have demonstrated both conflicting and
