Abstract
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a neurocytokine expressed by glial cells in peripheral nerves and the central nervous system. CNTF is generally recognized for its function in support and survival of non-neuronal and neuronal cell types. Following a serendipitous finding, CNTF was recently acknowledged for its potential role in the control of obesity.Entities:
