Mullerian Inhibiting Substance acts as a motor neuron survival factor <i>in vitro</i>

Abstract excerpt

The survival of motor neurons is controlled by multiple factors that regulate different aspects of their physiology. The identification of these factors is important because of their relationship to motor neuron disease. We investigate here whether Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) is a motor neuron survival factor. We find that motor neurons from adult mice synthesize MIS and express its receptors, suggesting...
