Nerve growth factor modulates the drug sensitivity of neurotransmitter release from PC-12 cells.

abstract：:The mature optic nerve cannot regenerate when injured, leaving victims of traumatic nerve damage or diseases such as glaucoma with irreversible visual losses. Recent studies have identified ways to stimulate retinal ganglion cells to regenerate axons part-way through the optic nerve, but it remains unknown whether mat...
