Nerve growth factor prevents 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced cell death via the Akt pathway by suppressing caspase-3-like activity using PC12 cells: Relevance to therapeutical application for parkinson's disease

Nerve growth factor (NGF) mediates a variety of nerve cell actions through receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA. It has been revealed that the Akt pathway contribut...
