Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a signaling protein [4] and growth factor implicated in a wide range of development and maintenance functions. NGF was discovered through a series of experiments in the 1950s on the development of the chick [5] nervous system. Since its discovery, NGF has been found to act in a variety of tissues throughout development and adulthood. It has been implicated in immune...

background: bone marrow stromal cells (bmsc) are used as a source for cell therapy in different model for neurological disorder such as stroke and spinal cord injury. however, the transdifferentiation of bmsc into cholinergic phenotype requires more investigation. methods: bmsc were isolated from adult rats, pre-induced with β-mercaptoethanol (bme) and followed by nerve growth factor (ngf) indu...
