Neurotrophic factors promote growth, survival or differentiation of neurons and have many potential uses in the treatment of major neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and motor neuron diseases. This book presents the latest findings from experimental studies in animals.
Degeneration of sensory receptors or of the nerves innervating them leads to a sensory deficit. Various strategies have been tried for promoting regrowth of sensory receptors, particularly in the eye and ear. The latest data from experimental studies in animals are presented in the book including applications of BDNF and CNTF in the eye and epidermal growth factor in the ear.

The Novartis Foundation is an international scientific and educational charity which promotes the study and general knowledge of science and in particular encourages international co-operation in scientific research.
