Pitzer, Claudia, Krüger, Carola, Plaas, Christian, Kirsch, Friederike, Dittgen, Tanjew, Müller, Ralph, ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that results in progressive loss of motoneurons, motor weakness and death within 1–5 years after disease onset....

The hematopoietic factor GM-CSF (Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) promotes neuronal differentiation of adult neural stem cells in vitro (2007)

Krüger, Carola, Laage, Rico, Pitzer, Claudia, Schäbitz, Wolf-Rüdiger, Schneider, Armin

Abstract Background Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a hematopoietic growth factor involved in the generation of granulocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells from...

An extended window of opportunity for G-CSF treatment in cerebral ischemia (2006)

Schneider, Armin, Wysocki, Rainer, Pitzer, Claudia, Krüger, Carola, Laage, Rico, Schwab, Stefan, ...

Abstract Background Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is known as a powerful regulator of white blood cell proliferation and differentiation in mammals. We, and others, have shown that...

The hematopoietic factor G-CSF is a neuronal ligand that counteracts programmed cell death and drives neurogenesis

Schneider, Armin, Krüger, Carola, Steigleder, Tobias, Weber, Daniela, Pitzer, Claudia, Laage, Rico, ...

G-CSF is a potent hematopoietic factor that enhances survival and drives differentiation of myeloid lineage cells, resulting in the generation of neutrophilic granulocytes. Here, we show that G-CSF...
