Abstract excerpt
During development, sympathetic neurons are critically dependent on nerve growth factor (NGF) for survival. Neurons isolated from the superior cervical ganglia (SCG) of embryonic rodents and maintained for 1 week in vitro undergo programmed cell death in response to NGF deprivation. As the cells mature in vitro and in vivo, however, these neurons develop a resistance to NGF deprivation and become much less...
