We investigated putative roles of transforming growth factor (TGF)- expressed in peripheral ganglia in the regulation of neuronal cell survival during the period of ontogenetic neuron death (OD). The chick ciliary ganglion (CG), where OD occurs between embryonic days (E) 6 and 10, was employed as a
## Abstract Nerve growth factor (NGF), brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin‐3 (NT3) promote the function and/or survival of basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic neurons in vivo and in culture. The neurotrophin source is commonly thought to be targets of cholinergic neurons and the
Neurotrophins exert effects on sensory neurons through receptor tyrosine kinases (trks) and a common neurotrophin receptor (p75). Quantitative in situ hybridization studies were performed on serial sections to identify neurons expressing single or multiple neurotrophin trk receptor mRNA(s) in adult
The tetracycline derivatives minocycline (MINO) and doxycycline (DOXY) have been shown to be neuroprotective in in vivo and in vitro models of stroke. This neuroprotection is thought to be due to the suppression of microglial activation. However, the specific molecular parameters in microglia of the
After the discovery of nerve growth factor, a classic model of neurotrophin action was developed. In this model, nerve endings compete for limited quantities of neurotrophic factors produced in neuronal target tissues. Neurotrophins are bound with high-affinity receptors expressed on the neuronal me
