Abstract excerpt
Most small unmyelinated neurons in adult rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) express one or more of the coreceptors targeted by glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), neurturin, and artemin (GFRalpha1, GFRalpha2, and GFRalpha3, respectively). The function of these GDNF family ligands (GFLs) is not fully elucidated but recent evidence suggests GFLs could function in sensory neuron regeneration after nerve...
