Ras p21 protein promotes survival and fiber outgrowth of cultured embryonic neurons [PDF]
Although evidence obtained with the PC12 cell line has suggested a role for the ras oncogene proteins in the signal transduction of nerve growth factor-mediated fiber outgrowth, little is known about the signal transduction mechanisms involved in the ...

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.

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.

Nerve growth factor receptors in dementia [PDF]
Background/aim: Nerve growth factor (NGF) promotes the survival and differentiation of sensory and sympathetic neurons. Several studies have found that certain neuropathological factors stimulate NGF receptor expression and release the truncated nerve ...

Development of affinity-based delivery of NGF from a chondroitin sulfate biomaterial. [PDF]
Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of the extracellular matrix in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Chondroitin sulfate is upregulated at injury, thus methods to promote neurite extension through chondroitin sulfate-rich matrices and

Neurotrophic factors and corneal nerve regeneration [PDF]
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.
