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 ...

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

Graphene promotes axon elongation through local stall of Nerve Growth Factor signaling endosomes [PDF]
Several works reported increased differentiation of neuronal cells grown on graphene; however, the molecular mechanism driving axon elongation on this material has remained elusive. Here, we study the axonal transport of nerve growth factor (NGF), the neurotrophin supporting development of peripheral neurons, as a key player in the time course of ...

Nerve growth factor binding domain of the nerve growth factor receptor. [PDF]
A structural analysis of the rat low-affinity nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor was undertaken to define the NGF binding domain. Mutant NGF receptor DNA constructs were expressed in mouse fibroblasts or COS cells, and the ability of the mutant receptor to bind NGF was assayed.

Creep Characterization of Inconel 718 Lattice Metamaterials Manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Herein, the creep characteristics of additively manufactured Inconel 718 metamaterials are investigated. The creep behavior of metamaterials and the effects of microstructural defects are assessed, and the microstructure defects are accurately captured using Kachanov's creep damage model.

Nerve growth factor: basic findings and clinical trials [PDF]
The nerve growth factor is the first-discovered and best-characterized member of the family of neurotrophins. In the introduction of this article we present a brief biographic view of past and present studies of Rita Levi-Montalcini on nerve growth ...

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 ...

Thick collagen-based 3D matrices including growth factors to induce neurite outgrowth [PDF]
Designing synthetic microenvironments for cellular investigations is a very active area of research at the crossroads of cell biology and materials science. The present work describes the design and functionalization of a three-dimensional (3D) culture support dedicated to the study of neurite outgrowth from neural cells.
