Abstract excerpt
Neurotrophins are the most profound known regulators of survival in the developing peripheral nervous system. Within dorsal root ganglia, the signalling receptors for the different members of the neurotrophin family are distributed in distinct patterns suggesting regulation of different functional classes of sensory neurons. Abnormalities observed in neurotrophin receptor mutant mice have confirmed this idea....
