Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and its canonical receptor Ret can signal
together or independently to fulfill many important functions in the midbrain dopaminergic …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is the largest and most complicated subdivision of the
peripheral nervous system. Its action is necessary to regulate many of the functions of the …

Folate supplementation reduces the occurrence of neural tube defects (NTDs), birth defects
consisting in the failure of the neural tube to form and close. The mechanisms underlying …

Podocytes are morphologically complex cells, the junctions of which form critical elements of
the final filtration barrier. Disruption of their foot processes and slit diaphragms occur early in …

The Alzheimer's disease (AD) susceptibility gene, CD2-associated protein (CD2AP),
encodes an actin binding adaptor protein, but its function in the nervous system is largely …

CD2AP is an adaptor protein involved in membrane trafficking, with essential roles in
maintaining podocyte function within the kidney glomerulus. CD2AP contains three Src …

Growth of intact axons of noninjured neurons, often termed collateral sprouting, contributes
to both adaptive and pathological plasticity in the adult nervous system, but the intracellular …

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is an essential growth factor for the
survival and maintenance of the midbrain dopaminergic (DA-ergic) neurons. Activation of …

Folate supplementation reduces the occurrence of neural tube defects (NTDs), birth defects
consisting in the failure of the neural tube to form and close. The mechanisms underlying …

How the function of the JMJD2D epigenetic regulator is regulated or whether it plays a role
in prostate cancer has remained elusive. We found that JMJD2D was overexpressed in …
