purpose. To characterize molecular and cellular changes induced by sustained expression
of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) in the rds mutant mouse retina. methods. Recombinant …

Background Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), a member of the interleukin-6 cytokine
family, has been implicated in the development, differentiation and survival of retinal …

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is known to inhibit the differentiation of rod photoreceptors
from postmitotic precursor cells. During early postnatal development, photoreceptor …

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) exhibit multiple
biological effects in the developing vertebrate retina. CNTF/LIF inhibits rod photoreceptor …

Purpose. Neurotrophic factors and neurotrophins are well-known to have neuroprotective
efficacy against retinal injury. The aim of this experiment is to investigate the signal …

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is pleiotrophic for central, peripheral, and sensory
neurons. In the mature retina, CNTF treatment enhances survival of retinal ganglion and …
