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

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
## Abstract To achieve inducible and reversible gene expression in the adult mouse brain, we exploited an improved version of the tetracycline‐controlled transactivator‐based system (rtTA2^S^‐M2, rtTA2 hereafter) and combined it with the forebrain‐specific CaMKIIα promoter. Several independent line
