title: Effects of conditioned media on extension of substance P-immunoreactive neurites from cultured mouse sensory ganglia.
abstract: Media conditioned by heart or stomach smooth muscle cells stimulated elongation of neurites with substance P-immunoreactivity from explants of mouse dorsal root ganglia in culture, but nerve growth factor (NGF) had no effect. However, NGF is known to be needed for sensory neurone survival; at least two types of factor may therefore be required for the normal development of substance P-containing sensory neurones.
