  1. The fold increase in RNA level after NGF withdrawal or after NGF withdrawal in the presence of CEP-11004 (average of 3 independent experiments) is shown for a selection of genes that have been grouped according to functional activity. The level of gene expression in the presence of NGF was set to 1. Negative fold changes refer to down-regulation. Only genes with a FDR-adjusted p-value of < 0.01 are shown.
