Artificial nerve graft constructed by coculture of activated Schwann cells and human hair keratin for repair of peripheral nerve defects

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2023
Studies have shown that human hair keratin (HHK) has no antigenicity and excellent mechanical properties. Schwann cells, as unique glial cells in the peripheral nervous system, can be induced by interleukin-1β to secrete nerve growth factor, which ...

Ras p21 protein promotes survival and fiber outgrowth of cultured embryonic neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
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

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
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.

Biological characteristics of dynamic expression of nerve regeneration related growth factors in dorsal root ganglia after peripheral nerve injury

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2020
The regenerative capacity of peripheral nerves is limited after nerve injury. A number of growth factors modulate many cellular behaviors, such as proliferation and migration, and may contribute to nerve repair and regeneration.

Nerve growth factors.

open access: yesNihon Naika Gakkai Zasshi, 1992
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.

Unaltered low nerve growth factor and high brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels in plasma from patients with fibromyalgia after a 15-week progressive resistance exercise

open access: yesJournal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2019
Background: The pathophysiology of fibromyalgia includes central and peripheral factors. Neurotrophins, such as nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, are involved in peripheral and central nervous system development of pain and ...

Nerve growth factor receptors in dementia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2011
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]

open access: yes, 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.
