The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for 'fight or flight'responses and
maintains homeostasis during daily activities such as exercise, eating a meal or regulation …

Extracellular adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) functions not only as a neurotransmitter but
is also released by non-excitable cells and mediates cell–cell communication involving glia …

We previously demonstrated that brain-resident cells produce IFN-γ in response to
reactivation of cerebral infection with Toxoplasma gondii. To obtain an overall landscape …

Neural connectivity requires neuronal differentiation, axon growth, and precise target
innervation. Midbrain dopaminergic neurons project via the nigrostriatal pathway to the …

Background Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the prototypical target-derived neurotrophic factor
required for sympathetic neuron survival and for the growth and ramification of sympathetic …

Dendrite size and morphology are key determinants of the functional properties of neurons
and neural circuits. Here we show that CD40, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, is …

We have studied the role of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily member APRIL in the
development of embryonic mouse midbrain dopaminergic neurons in vitro and in vivo. In …

Highlights•Activity-dependent autocrine signals play critical roles in synaptic
plasticity.•Transient retrograde signals can activate sustained autocrine signals.•Drosophila …

Multiple members of the tumour necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) regulate the growth and
branching of neural processes late in development, when neurons are establishing and …

ABSTRACT TWE-PRIL is a naturally occurring fusion protein of components of two TNF
superfamily members: the extracellular domain of APRIL; and the intracellular and …
