chapter 6 Nerve Growth Factors and Control of Nerve Growth

Current Topics in Developmental Biology, 1980
Publisher Summary This chapter surveys developmental observations indicating the occurrence of target derived signals that permit a neuron to survive at and beyond a critical time in its life course. It introduces and illustrates the concepts of a trophic drive responsible for both survival and growth supportive production, and of specifying ...

NERVE GROWTH FACTOR

Life Sciences, 1974
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the structure of nerve growth factor (NGF). The amino acid sequence of mouse NGF exhibited significant structural relatedness with the family of insulins and proinsulins. The sequence of mouse NGF could be aligned with human proinsulin with only five deletions required to yield the maximum homology of 21 ...

Efficient Delivery of Nerve Growth Factors to the Central Nervous System for Neural Regeneration

Advances in Materials, 2019
The central nervous system (CNS) plays a central role in the control of sensory and motor functions, and the disruption of its barriers can result in severe and debilitating neurological disorders.

Nerve growth factor and asthma

Allergy, 2002
An increasing body of evidence shows that nerve growth factor (NGF) exerts biological activity not only on the central and peripheral nervous system, but also on the immune system thereby influencing allergic diseases and asthma.(1) NGF circulating levels are increased in patients with allergic diseases and asthma, and are related to the severity of ...

Magnetic Nanoparticles for Efficient Delivery of Growth Factors: Stimulation of Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2017
The only clinically approved alternative to autografts for treating large peripheral nerve injuries is the use of synthetic nerve guidance conduits (NGCs), which provide physical guidance to the regenerating stump and limit scar tissue infiltration at ...

Nerve Growth Factor

1977
Publisher Summary Nerve growth factor (NGF) is one of an increasing number of growth factors that has been recognized as being essential for the survival and maintenance of specific types of cells. This chapter discusses the nerve growth factor from mouse submaxillary gland, the high molecular weight form of NGF (7 S NGF), the biosynthesis of NGF ...

Epidermal and nerve growth factors in mammalian development.

Annual Review of Physiology, 1981
Numerous growth factors active in cultured cells have been identified and purified in recent years. However, only in a few cases has their relevance to an in vivo situation been explored.

Nerve growth factors in chick tissues

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 1982
Bioassays of factors promoting nerve growth in embryonic ganglia are described. Chick embryo extract evokes fiber outgrowth in both sympathetic and ciliary ganglia explanted into a collagen gel.
