Abstract excerpt
In cultured neuronal cells, neurite outgrowth provides a prominent morphological marker for assessing neurotrophic activity derived from different sources. Permanent cell lines are often used for such studies; however, the process of differentiation should be evaluated biochemically or electrophy...
