Etv4 regulates nociception by controlling peptidergic sensory neuron development and peripheral tissue innervation.

Journal article Development (Cambridge, England) · August 2022 The perception of noxious environmental stimuli by nociceptive sensory neurons is an essential mechanism for the prevention of tissue damage. Etv4 is a transcriptional factor expressed in most nociceptors in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) during the embryonic d ... Full text Cite

GDNF and GFRα1 Are Required for Proper Integration of Adult-Born Hippocampal Neurons.

Journal article Cell reports · December 2019 The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is required for the survival and differentiation of diverse neuronal populations during nervous system development. Despite the high expression of GDNF and its receptor GFRα1 in the adult hippocampus, ... Full text Cite

Mechanisms That Modulate and Diversify BDNF Functions: Implications for Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity.

Journal article Frontiers in cellular neuroscience · January 2019 Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that has pleiotropic effects on neuronal morphology and synaptic plasticity that underlie hippocampal circuit development and cognition. Recent advances established that BDNF function is controlled ... Full text Cite
