Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor influences proliferation of osteoblastic cells [PDF]
, 2012 Little is known about the role of neurotrophic growth factors in bone metabolism. This study investigated the short-term effects of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on calvarial-derived MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts.

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells promote peripheral nerve repair via paracrine mechanisms
Neural Regeneration Research, 2015 Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) represent a promising young-state stem cell source for cell-based therapy. hUCMSC transplantation into the transected sciatic nerve promotes axonal regeneration and functional recovery.

Beyond antioxidants: the cellular and molecular interactions of flavonoids and how these underpin their actions on the brain [PDF]
, 2010 The consumption of flavonoid-rich foods and beverages has been suggested to limit the neurodegeneration associated with a variety of neurological disorders and to prevent or reverse normal or abnormal deteriorations in cognitive performance.

Human platelets contain brain-derived neurotrophic factor [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1990 Neurotrophic support to peripheral sensory neurons is provided by 2 factors of related sequence, NGF and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). NGF is present in peripheral target tissues, while BDNF has only been reported in the CNS. We now report the biological characterization and molecular cloning of a cDNA for BDNF from human platelets. BDNF in

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and cocaine addiction [PDF]
Brain Research, 2010 The effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on cocaine-seeking are brain region-specific. Infusion of BDNF into subcortical structures, like the nucleus accumbens and ventral tegmental area, enhances cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization and cocaine-seeking. Conversely, repeated administration of BDNF antiserum into the nucleus accumbens

Fluoxetine regulates the expression of neurotrophic/growth factors and glucose metabolism in astrocytes [PDF]
, 2018 Rationale: The pharmacological actions of most antidepressants are ascribed to the modulation of serotonergic and/or noradrenergic transmission in the brain.

Neurotrophic factors and corneal nerve regeneration [PDF]
, 2017 The cornea has unique features that make it a useful model for regenerative medicine studies. It is an avascular, transparent, densely innervated tissue and any pathological changes can be easily detected by slit lamp examination.
