Nerve growth factor receptors in dementia [PDF]
TURKISH JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, 2015 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 growth factor receptor (TNGFR) to biological fluids.

The effects of painless nerve growth factor on human microglia polarization
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 Previous studies in the rat suggest that microglial cells represent a potential druggable target for nerve growth factor (NGF) in the brain. The painless human Nerve Growth Factor (hNGFp) is a recombinant mutated form of human nerve growth factor (hNGF ...

Involvement of Bradykinin Receptor 2 in Nerve Growth Factor Neuroprotective Activity
Cells, 2020 Neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) has been demonstrated to upregulate the gene expression of bradykinin receptor 2 (B2R) on sensory neurons, thus facilitating nociceptive signals. The aim of the present study is to investigate the involvement of B2R

Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid promotes sciatic nerve repair after injury: molecular mechanism
Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 Previous studies showed that acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), the active ingredient in the natural Chinese medicine Boswellia, can stimulate sciatic nerve injury repair via promoting Schwann cell proliferation. However, the underlying molecular

Increased expression and activity of p75NTR are crucial events in azacitidine-induced cell death in prostate cancer [PDF]
, 2016 The high affinity nerve growth factor (NGF) NGF receptor, p75NTR, is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily that shares a conserved intracellular death domain capable of inducing apoptosis and suppressing growth in prostate ...

Clues from Crouzon: Insights into the potential role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of myelinated retinal nerve fibers. [PDF]
, 2016 PurposeWe present a case of bilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF) in an individual with Crouzon syndrome, an inherited form of craniosynostosis caused by overactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2.

Predicting Axonal Response to Molecular Gradients with a Computational Model of Filopodial Dynamics [PDF]
, 2004 Axons are often guided to their targets in the developing nervous system by attractive or repulsive molecular concentration gradients. We propose a computational model for gradient sensing and directed movement of the growth cone mediated by filopodia ...
