BDNF Increases the Number of Axotomized Rat Retinal Ganglion Cells Expressing GAP-43, L1, and TAG-1 mRNA—A Supportive Role for Nitric Oxide?

The death of neurons and the limited ability to activate growth-associated genes prevent the restoration of lesioned fiber tracts in the adult mammalian CNS. Here, we characterized the effects of the survival-promoting neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on mRNA expression of GAP-4...
