Thick collagen-based 3D matrices including growth factors to induce neurite outgrowth [PDF]
Acta Biomaterialia 8, 9 (2012) 3302-3312, 2012 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.

Analysis of post-traumatic growth status and its influencing factors in patients with facial palsy
Chinese Neurosurgical Journal, 2018 Background Facial nerve paralysis in patients occurs in varying degrees of self-image disorders, both physically and mentally, resulting in low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and even suicide; however, there were few researches on psychological ...

Nerve Growth Factor: Early Studies and Recent Clinical Trials
Current Neuropharmacology, 2018 Since its discovery, nerve growth factor (NGF) has long occupied a critical role in developmental and adult neuro-biology for its many important regulatory functions on the survival, growth and differentiation of nerve cells in the peripheral and central

Nerve Growth Factor and Autoimmune Diseases
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 NGF plays a crucial immunomodulatory role and increased levels are found in numerous tissues during autoimmune states. NGF directly modulates innate and adaptive immune responses of B and T cells and causes the release of neuropeptides and neurotransmitters controlling the immune system activation in inflamed tissues.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Potential application of let-7a antagomir in injured peripheral nerve regeneration
Neural Regeneration Research, 2023 Neurotrophic factors, particularly nerve growth factor, enhance neuronal regeneration. However, the in vivo applications of nerve growth factor are largely limited by its intrinsic disadvantages, such as its short biological half-life, its contribution ...

Tumor microenvironment (Part I): Tissue integrity in a rat model of peripheral neural cancer [PDF]
Heliyon, Volume 10, Issue 13, e33932, July 15, 2024ICAM-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 ...
