Lastly, the complex ganglia of the enteric nervous system harbour glial cells, the enteric glia, that are remarkably similar to astrocytes. Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) seems to have exceptionally numerous ...

Figure 1: Expression of cellular prion protein and its mRNA in neurons and glial cells of the ENS. It seems evident that further studies of the oral route of TSE transmission identifying the ...

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays a vital role in promoting motor neuron survival and axon outgrowth. It is being evaluated in clinical trials as a potential therapeutic for ...

AskBio's approach meanwhile will involve using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector to deliver a gene for human glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) into the neurons in the putamen.
