Fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor and insulin exert a neuronal-like influence on acetylcholine receptors in aneurally cultured human muscle.

abstract：:Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), known to promote survival of neurons, has recently been involved in the regulation of endothelial cells and was shown to possess immunoregulatory properties. We therefore asked whether BDNF has immunoregulating effects in human cerebral endothelial cells (HCEC). Adult HCEC exp...
