Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its cognate receptor, the type 1 IGF receptor (IGF1R), as well as high-affinity IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) that modulate IGF-I actions, are expressed throughout the course of brain development. These observations, taken together with studies in cultured neural cells demonstrating a variety of IGF-I growth-promoting activities, provide a strong argument for IGF-I having a...
