Effects of apolipoprotein E, beta-very low density lipoproteins, and cholesterol on the extension of neurites by rabbit dorsal root ganglion neurons in vitro.
Previous studies suggest that during nerve regeneration apoE acts as a lipid transport protein that assists in the rapid initial extension of axons and then in their myelination. To determine whether apoE and/or apoE-containing lipoproteins can modulate axon growth, we assessed their effect on the o...
