Interaction between neurons, glia and target field cells in regulating the survival of cranial sensory neurons

During embryonic development, most cutaneous sensory neurons depend for their survival on a supply of NGF synthesised in the skin. NGF promotes survival by binding to the trkA receptor tyrosine kinase whose signalling is modulated by the common neurotrophin receptor p75. trkA is expressed shortly af...
