Nerve Growth Factor and Sepsis [PDF]

, 2012
Neurotrophins are a family of growth factors that are polypeptide in structure and are necessary for the development and maintenance of the vertebrate nervous system. The first member of this family, nerve growth factor (NGF) was discovered in 1952 by an Italian group of scientists led by Rita Levi-Montalcini. She received a Nobel Prize in 1987 for her

Binary specification of nerve cord and notochord cell fates in ascidian embryos [PDF]

, 2001
In the ascidian embryo, the nerve cord and notochord of the tail of tadpole larvae originate from the precursor blastomeres for both tissues in the 32-cell-stage embryo. Each fate is separated into two daughter blastomeres at the next cleavage.

Targeting RAGE with Nanobodies for Molecular Imaging of Cancers and Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
RAGE‐specific nanobodies were isolated via phage display and characterized by ELISA, cell ELISA, and SPR. In vivo imaging in renal carcinoma and Alzheimer's disease mouse models demonstrated that NbF8, the highest‐affinity clone, selectively targeted RAGE‐overexpressing tumors and brain tissues, highlighting its potential as a molecular imaging agent ...

Heterogeneity‐induced NGF‐NGFR communication inefficiency promotes mitotic spindle disorganization in exhausted T cells through PREX1 suppression to impair the anti‐tumor immunotherapy with PD‐1 mAb in hepatocellular carcinoma

Cancer Medicine
Background The mechanism of decreased T cells infiltrating tumor tissues in hepatocellular carcinoma is poorly understood. Methods Cells were separated from the single‐cell RNA‐sequence dataset of hepatocellular carcinoma patients (GSE149614) for cell ...

Inhibition of MAP Kinase Kinase Blocks the Differentiation of PC-12 Cells Induced by Nerve Growth Factor(*)

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) pathway is thought to play an important role in the actions of neurotrophins. A small molecule inhibitor of the upstream kinase activator of MAP kinase, MAP kinase kinase (MEK) was examined for its effect

Extracellular vesicle-induced differentiation of neural stem progenitor cells [PDF]

, 2019
Neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs) from E13.5 mouse embryos can be maintained in culture under proliferating conditions. Upon growth-factor removal, they may differentiate toward either neuronal or glial phenotypes or both.

Using a Supramolecular Approach to Engineer Modular Hydrogel Platforms for Culturing Protoplasts – from General Tissue Engineering to Cellular Agriculture

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Using supramolecular monomers, various hydrogel culture systems were formulated to culture protoplasts; including 2D, 2.5D, and 3D hydrogels. Depending on the culture platform, bioactive functionalization led to protoplast enlargement (2D and 2.5D) or plasmolysis (3D). This work shows the potential to modularly engineer synthetic platforms for cellular
