The Non-Survival Effects of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor on Neural Cells
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) was first characterized as a survival-promoting molecule for dopaminergic neurons (DANs). Afterwards, other cells were also discovered to respond to GDNF not only as a survival factor but also as a protein supporting other cellular functions, such a...
