Spinal cord atrophy and reorganization of motoneuron connections following long-standing limb loss in primates.

abstract：:While nerve growth factor (NGF) is best known for its trophic functions, recent experiments indicate that it can also cause cell death during development by activating the neurotrophin receptor p75. We now identify microglial cells as the source of NGF as a killing agent in the developing eye. When the retina is separ...
