4. We thus confirmed the role of GDNF as an adaptive survival factor, and its alteration appears to have a key role in nephrocalcinosis. We also discovered that, in GDNF-silenced cells, death occurs in a programmed but caspase-independent manner. PMID: 29208768
5. Results suggested that while alterations at 5:37812784 T > A and 5:37812782 T > A sites related with higher GDNF serum levels and less functionality, and alterations at rs62360370 G > A 3'UTR SNP of GDNF associated with higher severity and lower functionality. However, alterations at both rs2075680 C > A and rs79669773 T > C SNPs affect neither GDNF serum levels nor severity and functionality in bipolar disorder. PMID: 28891527
6. To our knowledge, this is the first study which correlates GDNF levels with metabolic parameters. Our results show no differences in GDNF serum level between schizophrenia, a first depressive episode, and healthy controls. GDNF serum level did not correlate with metabolic parameters except for total cholesterol in depression. PMID: 28689143

13. In SOD1(G93A) spinal cords, we verified a strict correlation in the expression of the TNFalpha, TNFR1 and GDNF triad at different stages of disease progression. Yet, ablation of TNFR1 completely abolished GDNF rises in both SOD1(G93A) astrocytes and spinal cords, a condition that accelerated motor neuron degeneration and disease progression PMID: 27288458
