Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-treated neurospheres from fetal forebrain contain multipotential cells capable of neuronal, astrocytic, and oligodendroglial differentiation. These neural precursor cells express the TrkB as well as the neurotrophin receptor p75 (p75NTR), suggesting that they are BDNF responsive. In this study, we test whether the p75NTR plays a role in the differentiation of these neural precursor...
