Neuritogenesis of retinal ganglion cells is differentially promoted by target extract
Brain Research
|December 31, 1993
Abstract:
Labeled retinal ganglion cells from neonatal rats extended neurites in dissociated cell culture as a cell type-specific response to the influence of a superior collicular extract. The molecule responsible for this neuritogenic effect is soluble and non-dialysable (> 12 kDa). Nerve growth factor had a neuritogenic effect both on ganglion cells and other types of retinal cells.
