Neuregulin upregulates microglial α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor expression in immortalized cell lines: implications for regulating neuroinflammation.
Neuregulin, previously known as ARIA, is a signaling protein involved in cell survival, synaptic plasticity, cell communication and differentiation. Neuregulin has also been described as a potent inducer of acetylcholine receptor transcription in muscle and although both neuregulin and acetylcholine...
