... Dystroglycan Oligodendrocyte Laminin Myelin Integrin DRG Rat Extrinsic regulatory molecules, such as growth factors, are important for oligodendrocyte development during central nervous system (CNS) myelination. Although less is known about the extrinsic regulation of oligodendrocyte development...

...Keisuke Watanabe; Nobuaki Tamamaki; Takahiro Furuta; Susan L. Ackerman; Kazuhiro Ikenaka; Katsuhiko Ono Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons extend axons to specific targets in the gray matter of the spinal cord. During development, DRG axons grow into the dorsolateral margin of the spinal cord...

...Jennifer C. Kasemeier-Kulesa; Paul M. Kulesa; Frances Lefcort The neural crest is a migratory population of cells that produces many diverse structures within the embryo. Trunk neural crest cells give rise to such structures as the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and sympathetic ganglia (SG),which form...

... neurotrophic effects upon several classes of peripheral and central neurons. Limited information from in vitro and expression studies has also substantiated a role for GDNF family ligands in mammalian somatosensory neuron development. Here, we show that although dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons...
