Study Design. Biochemical and immunohistochemical analyses by the human intervertebral
disc (IVD) cells and tissues. Objective. To examine the expression of glial cell line-derived …

The steady-state mRNA levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), GDNFR-
α and RET were examined in various human peripheral neuropathies to determine the …

Little is known about the role of neurotrophic growth factors in bone metabolism. This study
investigated the short-term effects of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on …

The neurotrophic effect of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been well
documented in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. From the histological …

Co-localization of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and its functional
receptor c-RET was examined immunohistochemically in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of …

To reveal roles of neurotrophic factors in plastic changes of the primary afferent neurons
following nerve injury, we investigated expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic …

Glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to exert neurotrophic
effects on motor neurons as well as mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. Because GDNF …

The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family of growth factors may be
involved in the regenerative support of neurons in the peripheral nervous system. In order to …

The spinal cord of a 7-week-old female Wistar rat was hemi-transected at thoracic position
10 with a razor blade, and changes in glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) …

The c‐ret protooncogene, RET, encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase. RET is activated by
members of the glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family of ligands, which …
