Improved survival of embryonic porcine dopaminergic neurons in coculture with a conditionally immortalized GDNF-producing hippocampal cell line.

TL;DR: In conclusion, the better survival of HiB5-GDNF cocultures is promising for the generation of effective cell lines for local delivery of neurotrophic factors to intracerebral nigral grafts.

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor induces cell migration in human oral squamous cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: It is found that application of human GDNF enhanced the cell migration ability of human oral cancers and indicates a regulatory effect on cell migration by GDNF in oral squamous cancer.

Neurotrophic factors BDNF and GDNF protect embryonic chick spinal cord motoneurons from ethanol neurotoxicity in vivo

TL;DR: This study represents the first demonstration of in vivo neuroprotection from ethanol toxicity with respect to specific neuronal populations, and analysis of motoneuron numbers indicated that both BDNF and GDNF provided protection to developing spinal cord motoneurons from ethanoloxicity, restoring mot oneuron numbers to control levels.
