Potential role of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor receptors in Müller glial cells during light-induced retinal degeneration

TL;DR: Observations suggest that GDNF, NTN and their receptors are involved in the regulation of trophic factor production in retinal glial cells, and that functional glia-neuron network may utilize GDNF family for the protection of neural cells during retinal degeneration.

Behavioral and Neurochemical Effects of Intranigral Administration of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor on Aged Fischer 344 Rats

TL;DR: Results indicate that a single intranigral injection of GDNF is capable of augmenting locomotor behavior and DAergic function in the aged rat striatum and nucleus accumbens.

The Caenorhabditis elegans odr-2 gene encodes a novel Ly-6-related protein required for olfaction.

TL;DR: It is shown that residual responses to high concentrations of AWC-sensed odors are caused by the ability of other olfactory neurons (the AWA neurons) to be recruited at high odor concentrations.

Membrane-anchorage of Cripto protein by glycosylphosphatidylinositol and its distribution during early mouse development

TL;DR: It is suggested that presentation of Cripto on the cell surface via a GPI-linkage is important in determining the spatial specificity of cell-cell interactions that play a critical role in the early patterning of the embryo.

Current approaches and perspectives in the therapy of medullary thyroid carcinoma.

TL;DR: Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a neuroendocrine tumor derived from parafollicular cells and surgery is the most important treatment for MTC.
