2003 DEC 15 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Neurothrophins use paracrine control to command neurogenesis and vessel growth.
"The neuronal system plays a fundamental role in the maturation of primitive embryonic vascular network by providing a paracrine template for blood vessel branching and arterial differentiation. Furthermore, postnatal vascular and neural regeneration cooperate in the healing of damaged tissue. Neurogenesis continues in adulthood although confined to specific brain regions," researchers in Italy report.
"Following ischemic insult, neural staminal cells contribute towards the healing process through the stimulation of neurogenesis and ...
