Abstract excerpt
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) can regulate the survival and differentiation of certain neurons and glial cells in culture. To determine the role of this cytokine in the central nervous system in vivo, we examined the brains of young and adult mice in which the LIF gene was disrupted. Immunohis...
