referenceYoshida, Kakihana, Chen, Ong, Baird, and Gage investigated the cytokine regulation of nerve growth factor-mediated cholinergic neurotrophic activity synthesized by astrocytes and fibroblasts in a 1992 study.
referenceFibroblast growth factor and other cytokines cooperatively regulate the synthesis and secretion of nerve growth factor in fibroblasts and astrocytes, as reported by Yoshida and Gage in a 1992 Brain Research publication.
referenceYoshida, K. and Gage, F.H. demonstrated that fibroblast growth factors stimulate the synthesis and secretion of nerve growth factor by astrocytes, as published in Brain Research (1991).
