... is thought to suppress survival. To investigate the potential roles of these proteins in regulating the survival of developing neurons, we compared the effects of overexpressing these proteins in embryonic neurons deprived of different neurotrophic factors in vitro. Surprisingly, overexpression of Bax...

...Susan J. Birren; Liching Lo; David J. Anderson ABSTRACT Sympathetic neurons require NGF for survival, but it is not known when these cells first become dependent on neurotrophic factors. We have examined in vitro mitotically active sympathetic neuroblasts immuno-isolated from different embryonic...

This has led to important advances in our understanding of the mechanism of axonal guidance, the physiology of neurotrophic factors and the establishment and refinement of neural connections. The first convincing evidence for axonal guidance by chemotropism has been obtained...
