From Single Neurons to Behavior in the Jellyfish Aurelia aurita [PDF]

eLife 2019;8:e50084, 2019
Jellyfish nerve nets provide insight into the origins of nervous systems, as both their taxonomic position and their evolutionary age imply that jellyfish resemble some of the earliest neuron-bearing, actively-swimming animals. Here we develop the first neuronal network model for the nerve nets of jellyfish.

Refining the NaV1.7 pharmacophore of a class of venom‐derived peptide inhibitors via a combination of in silico screening and rational engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Neurotrophins and neuropeptides as inflammatory mediators in case of chronic dermatosis

Vestnik Dermatologii i Venerologii, 2017
This literature review examines the role of neurotrophins and neuropeptides for the development of skin inflammatory reactions in case of chronic inflammatory dermatoses.

Tumor microenvironment (Part I): Tissue integrity in a rat model of peripheral neural cancer [PDF]

Heliyon, Volume 10, Issue 13, e33932, July 15, 2024
ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1) and MPZ (myelin protein zero) are thought to be a factor in the integrity of nerve tissues. In this report, we attempted to trace the expression of ICAM-1, responsible for cell-to-cell adhesion, and of MPZ, the main constituent of myelin sheath, in malignant tissues of the sciatic nerve (SN) in inbred male ...

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury via sustained growth factor delivery from mineral-coated microparticles

Neural Regeneration Research, 2021
The gold standard for treating peripheral nerve injuries that have large nerve gaps where the nerves cannot be directly sutured back together because it creates tension on the nerve, is to incorporate an autologous nerve graft.

Magnetic Nanoparticles for Neural Engineering [PDF]

Thanh, Nguyen TK (ed.). Clinical applications of magnetic nanoparticles: From Fabrication to Clinical Applications. CRC press, 2018
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are the foundation of several new strategies for neural repair and neurological therapies. The fact that a remote force can act on MNPs at the cytoplasmic space constitutes the essence of many new neurotherapeutic concepts. MNPs with a predesigned physicochemical characteristic can interact with external magnetic fields to

Nerve growth factor receptors in dementia [PDF]

, 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 ...

Genomic landscape and preclinical models of angiosarcoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Angiosarcomas are a rare and aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis for patients. The genomic landscape of angiosarcoma can be highly complex and heterogenous; however, recent studies have identified some common features especially within anatomic and molecular subgroups.

TGF-β regulates nerve growth factor expression in a mouse intervertebral disc injury model

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a major cause of low back pain (LBP). Following disc injury, nerve growth factor (NGF) concentrations rise in IVDs, and anti-NGF therapy has been shown to attenuate LBP in humans.
