NGF stimulates extensive neurite outgrowth from implanted dorsal root ganglion neurons following transplantation into the adult rat inner ear

Neuronal tissue transplantation is a potential way to replace degenerated spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) since these cells cannot regenerate in adult mammals. To investigate whether nerve growth factor (NGF) can stimulate neurite outgrowth from implanted neurons, mouse embryonic dorsal root ganglion...
