The boundary cap: a source of neural crest stem cells that generate multiple sensory neuron subtypes [PDF]

, 2005
The boundary cap (BC) is a transient neural crest-derived group of cells located at the dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) that have been shown to differentiate into sensory neurons and glia in vivo.

Engraftment of C6-2B Cells into the Striatum of Aci Nude Rats as a Tool for Comparison of the in Vitro and in Vivo Phenotype of a Glioma Cell Line

Cell Transplantation, 1997
The C6-2B is a well-characterized glioma cell line used extensively in the study of malignant glial biology. While the C6-2B cell line has traditionally been thought of as a homogenous cell line, the in vitro phenotype of the C6-2B cell line can vary ...

Bioinspired Bromination Enables Extensible, Strain‐Stiffening Resilin Peptide Scaffolds with Tunable Degradation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired bromination of a resilin‐derived peptide enables the fabrication of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds that uniquely combine strain‐stiffening elasticity, proteolytic stability, and antioxidant functionality. These brominated peptide–gelatin hybrids mimic the extensibility of natural elastomers, demonstrating tunable mechanical resilience ...

Thrombin regulates the ability of Schwann cells to support neuritogenesis and to maintain the integrity of the nodes of Ranvier [PDF]

, 2020
Schwann cells (SC) are characterized by a remarkable plasticity that enables them to promptly respond to nerve injury promoting axonal regeneration. In peripheral nerves after damage SC convert to a repair-promoting phenotype activating a sequence of ...

Excessive nerve growth factor impairs bidirectional communication between the oocyte and cumulus cells resulting in reduced oocyte competence

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2018
Background Excessive nerve growth factor (NGF) is commonly found in the follicular fluid of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Furthermore, oocytes from PCOS patients exhibit lower developmental competence.

Role of nerve growth factor and its TRKA receptor in normal ovarian and epithelial ovarian cancer angiogenesis [PDF]

, 2014
In normal ovarian function a controlled angiogenesis is essential. Several growth factors are involved in this process, such as the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF). The angiogenesis process in the normal ovary is a
