VEGF was initially discovered due to its angiogenic activity and therefore named “vascular
endothelial growth factor.” However, its more recently discovered neurotrophic activity may be …

Extraocular muscles contain two types of muscle fibers according to their innervation pattern:
singly innervated muscle fibers (SIFs), similar to most skeletal muscle fibers, and multiply …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is well known for its angiogenic activity, but
recent evidence has revealed a neuroprotective action of this factor on injured or diseased …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as VEGF-A, was discovered due to its
vasculogenic and angiogenic activity, but a neuroprotective role for VEGF was later proven …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was discovered by its angiogenic activity. However,
during evolution, it appeared earlier as a neurotrophic factor required for the development …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an angiogenic factor with neuroprotective effects:
The VEGF was initially characterized by its vasculogenic and angiogenic activities and its …

Purpose: To test whether visual experience and/or eye movements drive the postnatal
development of palisade endings in extraocular muscles. Methods: In three newborn cats, the …

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to test whether palisade endings express structural
and molecular features of exocytotic machinery, and are associated with acetylcholine …

The potassium chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is the main Cl − extruder in neurons. Any
alteration in KCC2 levels leads to changes in Cl − homeostasis and, consequently, in the …

Proprioception is the sense that lets us perceive the location, movement and action of the
body parts. The proprioceptive apparatus includes specialized sense organs (proprioceptors) …
