Abstract
NGF's role in neuronal survival has tended to mask other potential function
s. But now the generation of mice lacking both Bax - required for the death
of NGF-deprived neurons - and NGF or its receptor has shown that NGF plays
a key role in establishing cutaneous innervation and regulating neuropepti
de expression.
