Exogenous nerve growth factor protects the hypoglossal nerve against crush injury
Studies have shown that sensory nerve damage can activate the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, but whether the same type of nerve injury after exercise activates the p38MAPK pathway remains unclear.

Scattered Light Imaging: Resolving the substructure of nerve fiber crossings in whole brain sections with micrometer resolution [PDF]
For developing a detailed network model of the brain based on image reconstructions, it is necessary to spatially resolve crossing nerve fibers. The accuracy hereby depends on many factors, including the spatial resolution of the imaging technique. 3D Polarized Light Imaging (3D-PLI) allows the three-dimensional reconstruction of nerve fiber tracts in ...

Effects of a synthetic bioactive peptide on neurite growth and nerve growth factor release in chondroitin sulfate hydrogels. [PDF]
Previous work has revealed robust dorsal root ganglia neurite growth in hydrogels of chondroitin sulfate. In the current work, it was determined whether addition of a synthetic bioactive peptide could augment neurite growth in these matrices via enhanced

神経成長因子(nerve growth factor; NGF)は,知覚神経二ューロン,交感神経ニューロン,中枢の一部のコリン系ニューロンの分化・成熟を促し,生存・機能を維持し,突起伸展を引き起こす,分子量約26000の蛋白質である. NGFは,神経科学,発生学の分野において最も古くから実体の明らかにされていた分子のひとつで, NGFの研究で得られた膨大な知見から神経回路の形成過程や調節機構の概要が窺い知ることができるようになった.最近では, NGFを投与すると,末梢神経の軸索再生が促進されること,遅発性ニューロン死が抑制されること,老化による学習記憶能力低下が抑制されること,などが報告され,臨床応用への期待も高まってきている.

Transforming growth factor-β stimulates nerve growth factor production in osteoarthritic synovium
Background Nerve growth factor (NGF) contributes to pain in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) stimulates NGF expression in chondrocytes from KOA patients.
