Nerve Growth Factor and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in COVID-19

Biology
Neurotrophins (NTs) constitute a family of small protein messengers that play a fundamental role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. In particular, the nerve growth factor (NGF) and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) play a ...

Progress in the "brain-derived neurotrophic factor hypothesis of depression"

, 2010
The traditional "brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) hypothesis of depression" proposes that impairment of the BDNF signaling pathway in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex participates in the pathophysiology of depression, and antidepressants act

A Microenvironment‐Adaptive Scaffold Rejuvenates Peripheral Nerve Regeneration During Aging Via Dual Modulation of Ferroptotic Stimuli in Schwann Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
(i) Aging impairs peripheral nerve regeneration via its dual ferroptosis‐mediated pathologies in senescent schwann cells. (ii) The composite nerve conduit is a symbiosis niche integrating microenvironment‐responsive nanoparticles (Ga‐PTAs) and maxillofacial‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (Mmscs).

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Nociception, and Pain

Biomolecules
This article examines the involvement of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the control of nociception and pain. BDNF, a neurotrophin known for its essential role in neuronal survival and plasticity, has garnered significant attention for ...

Preclinical Testing of Neuroprotective Neurotrophic Factors in a Model of Chronic Motor Neuron Degeneration

Neurobiology of Disease, 1999
Many neurotrophic factors have been shown to enhance survival of embryonic motor neurons or affect their response to injury. Few studies have investigated the potential effects of neurotrophic factors on more mature motor neurons that might be relevant ...

Exposure to Early Life Stress Results in Epigenetic Changes in Neurotrophic Factor Gene Expression in a Parkinsonian Rat Model

Parkinson's Disease, 2016
Early life adversity increases the risk of mental disorders later in life. Chronic early life stress may alter neurotrophic factor gene expression including those for brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial cell derived neurotrophic factor ...

OAF Blocks SIAH1‐Mediated Degradation of SCPX, a Therapeutic Strategy for MASLD

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows OAF directly binds to SCPX and inhibits its interaction with the E3 ligase SIAH1, thereby protecting SCPX from ubiquitin‐dependent degradation and stabilizing its levels. This OAF‐SCPX axis represents a novel pathway in lipid homeostasis, highlighting OAF as a promising therapeutic candidate for MASLD.

Enteric ChAT‐Expressing Neurons Mediate the Protective Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In colitis patients and mice, reduced Lactobacillus abundance is observed. Experimental studies show that L. plantarum A736 metabolizes dietary tryptophan into indole‐3‐lactic acid (ILA), while both L. plantarum A736 and ILA impact ChAT‐expressing enteric neurons and acetylcholine levels, thereby regulating intestinal immune responses and alleviating ...

A BSCB‐Penetrating Nanoplatform for Enhanced Luteolin Delivery in PRMT2‐Targeted Epigenetic Therapy of Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, MSN‐BO@LUT penetrates the blood‐spinal cord barrier for luteolin delivery in spinal cord injury. The nanodrug suppresses neuroinflammation and promotes functional recovery of the spinal cord. Mechanistically, luteolin targets protein arginine N‐methyltransferase (PRMT2) to decrease toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) methylation, thereby ...
