Regeneration of entorhinal fibers in mouse slice cultures is age dependent and can be stimulated by NT-4, GDNF, and modulators of G-proteins and protein kinase C.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that the application of neurotrophic factors and the modulation of intracellular signal transduction pathways could be useful strategies to enhance axonal regeneration in a complex microenvironment.

The significance of TNFAIP8 in prostate cancer response to radiation and docetaxel and disease recurrence.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TNFAIP8 expression is induced by androgen in hormone‐responsive LNCaP prostate cancer cells, and a potential relationship of the nuclear trafficking of TNFAip8 with adverse outcomes in a subset of prostate cancer patients is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroprotective utility and neurotrophic action of neurturin in postnatal motor neurons: comparison with GDNF and persephin.

TL;DR: Neurturin, like GDNF, increases the choline acetyltransferase activity of normal postnatal motor neurons, induces neurite outgrowth in spinal cord, and potently protects motor neurons from chronic glutamate-mediated degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spermatogonial stem cell markers and niche in equids.

TL;DR: The findings strongly suggest that in stallions these cells were preferentially located in the areas facing the interstitium, particularly those nearby blood vessels, which suggests that the molecular mechanisms that maintain the niche and Aund/SSCs physiology are conserved among mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glial-derived neurotrophic factor rescues calbindin-D28k-immunoreactive neurons in alcohol-treated cerebellar explant cultures.

TL;DR: The results suggest that glial-derived neurotrophic factor prevents ethanol-associated Purkinje cell loss, and concurrent administration of GDNF led to a significant rescue of calbindin-D28k-immunoreactive cells.

An analysis of 5'-noncoding sequences from 699 vertebrate messenger RNAs

TL;DR: 5'-Noncoding sequences have been compiled from 699 vertebrate mRNAs and GCCA/GCCATGG emerges as the consensus sequence for initiation of translation in vertebrates.
