Brain-derived neurotrophic factor enhances calcium regulatory mechanisms in human airway smooth muscle.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor enhances calcium regulatory mechanisms in human airway smooth muscle.

Neurotrophins (NTs), which play an integral role in neuronal development and function, have been found in non-neuronal tissue (including lung), but their role is still under investigation. Recent reports show that NTs such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as well as NT receptors are expre...
