Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (apoE)-containing lipoproteins (LpE) are produced by glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS). When LpE are supplied to distal axons, but not cell bodies, of CNS neurons (retinal ganglion cells) the rate of axonal extension is increased. In this study we have investigated...
