Nerve growth factor (NGF) influences differentiation and proliferation of myogenic cells in vitro via TrKA
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
Classic studies have established that muscle cells exert trophic actions on neurons of the developing peripheral nervous system through the production of neurotrophins. For this reason neurotrophins are also known as 'target-derived factors'. During differentiation, muscle cells also express some neurotrophin receptors, such as the low-affinity p75 neurotrophin receptor, which binds all neurotrophins, and the...
