Retinoic acid (RA) induces the differentiation of many cell lines, including those derived from
neuroblastoma. RA treatment of SH‐SY5Y cells induces the appearance of functional Trk B …

Retinoic acid (RA) induces the neuronal differentiation of many human neuroblastoma cell
lines. In this study, we show that RA treatment of neuroblastoma cells induces the …

Little is known about the signal transduction pathways of TRK family receptors in
neuroblastoma (NB) cells. In this study, an NB cell line, designated MP‐N‐TS, was …

Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) act on
various neurons of the CNS as neurotrophic factors promoting neuronal differentiation and …

Neurotrophic factors (NTFs) can protect against or sensitize neurons to excitotoxicity. We
studied the role played by various NTFs in the excitotoxic death of purified embryonic rat …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the neurotrophins, promotes
differentiation and survival of various types of neurons in the central nervous system. BDNF …

Activation of the neurotrophin receptor TrkA by its ligand nerve growth factor (NGF) initiates
a cascade of signaling events leading to neuronal differentiation in vitro and might play an …

We have previously described the expression of a functional full‐length trkC transcript for
neurotrophin‐3 (NT‐3) receptor in oligodendroglia (OL) cells (Kumar and de Vellis, 1996) …

We investigated the signaling pathways exerted by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) in relation to their survival-promoting effects on dissociated …

Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that plays a pivotal role during development
and in the homeostasis of the adult nervous systems. However, mechanisms that regulate …
