Recent advances in NGF and related molecules : the continuum of the NGF "Saga"

Recent advances in NGF and related molecules : the continuum of the NGF "Saga" / Laura Calzà, Luigi Aloe, Luciana Giardino, editors.

More than fifty years after its initial discovery by Rita Levi Montalcini and Stanley Cohen and the proposal of the neurotrophic theory, nerve growth factor (NGF) has become the prototype of a family of biologically active molecules called neurotrophic factors (NTFs). This book addresses important a...
