Glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands (GFLs), which consist of GDNF, neurturin, artemin and persephin, regulate the development and maintenance of the nervous system. GDNF protects and repairs dopamine-containing neurons, which degenerate in Parkinson's disease, and
Four glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands (GFLs) have been characterized: GDNF, neurturin (NRTN), artemin (ARTN) and persephin (PSPN). These proteins support and restore multiple neuronal populations such as dopaminergic, sensory, motor, hippocampal, basal forebrain,
Apoptotic cell death of photoreceptors is the final event leading to blindness in the heterogeneous group of inherited retinal degenerations. GDNF (glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor) was found to rescue photoreceptor function and survival very effectively in an animal model of retinal
Numerous neurotrophic factors promote the survival of developing motor neurons but their combinatorial actions remain poorly understood; to address this, we here screened 66 combinations of 12 neurotrophic factors on pure, highly viable, and standardized embryonic mouse motor neurons isolated by a
