Nerve Growth Factor, Stress and Diseases

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2021
Stress is a constant threat for homeostasis and is represented by different extrinsic and intrinsic stimuli (stressors, Hans Selye’s "noxious agents"), such as aggressive behavior, fear, diseases, physical activity, drugs, surgical injury, and environmental and physiological changes.

Nerve growth factor and nociception

Trends in Neurosciences, 1993
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is thought of as a target-derived factor responsible for the survival and maintaining the phenotype of specific sets of peripheral and central neurons during development and maturation. Recently, using physiological techniques, we have shown that specific functional types of nociceptive sensory neurons require NGF, first for ...

On the immunology of nerve growth factor

Neuroscience Letters, 1985
We report some experiments on the immunological properties of nerve growth factor from the venom of Heloderma horridum and from bull seminal vesicles. On the basis of these results, taken together with results already in the literature, we propose an operational definition of the term nerve growth factor.

Neural mobilization promotes nerve regeneration by nerve growth factor and myelin protein zero increased after sciatic nerve injury

Growth Factors, 2015
Neurotrophins are crucial in relation to axonal regrowth and remyelination following injury; and neural mobilization (NM) is a noninvasive therapy that clinically is effective in neuropathic pain treatment, but its mechanisms remains unclear. We examined

Nerve growth factor revisited

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1993
Recent studies on nerve growth factor have revealed important new insights into the structure, function and evolution of this prototypical neurotrophic factor. Some of its features are (1) it has a unique three-dimensional fold that has since been found in two other growth factors, (2) it uses the trk proto-oncogene product, which has a tyrosine kinase,

The nerve growth factor family

Progress in Growth Factor Research, 1990
Nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) are small, basic, secretory proteins that allow the survival of specific neuronal populations. In their biologically active form, after cleavage from their biosynthetic precursors, these three neurotrophic proteins, or neurotrophins, show about 50% amino acid ...

Tissue Localization of Nerve Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor Receptors

1991
The pioneering investigations of Levi-Montalcini and coworkers established that nerve growth factor (NGF) is an important physiological regulator of neurons of the peripheral nervous system. No doubt in part because of the dramatic and specific effects on the sympathetic and sensory nervous system resulting from immunochemically depriving rodents of ...

Nerve Growth Factor: Neurotrophin or Cytokine?

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2003
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neutrophin exerting an important role in the development and functions of the central and peripheral nervous system. However, it has recently been documented that several immune cells – such as mast cells, lymphocytes and eosinophils – produce, store and release NGF.

Aligned SF/P(LLA-CL)-blended nanofibers encapsulating nerve growth factor for peripheral nerve regeneration.

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research. Part A, 2014
Artificial nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) containing bioactive neurotrophic factors and topographical structure to biomimic native tissues are essential for efficient regeneration of nerve gaps.
