Phase I trial of recombinant human nerve growth factor for neurotrophic keratitis [PDF]
Neurotrophic keratitis/keratopathy (NK), a rare degenerative corneal disease, lacks effective pharmacologic therapies.1 Because NK pathology involves trigeminal nerve damage and loss of corneal innervation, nerve growth factor (NGF) is surmised to ...

Identification of PLXDC1 and PLXDC2 as the transmembrane receptors for the multifunctional factor PEDF. [PDF]
Pigment Epithelium Derived Factor (PEDF) is a secreted factor that has broad biological activities. It was first identified as a neurotrophic factor and later as the most potent natural antiangiogenic factor, a stem cell niche factor, and an inhibitor of

Signaling pathways linking behavior to neurogenesis in healthy brain and disease [PDF]
Self-repair of the adult brain is limited – most diseases lack effective therapy. In order to better understand how a regenerative response can be achieved, studying mechanisms shaping the neurogenic niche, from environmental factors to intrinsic ...

MANF: A New Player in the Control of Energy Homeostasis, and Beyond
All human behaviors, including the control of energy homeostasis, are ultimately mediated by neuronal activities in the brain. Neurotrophic factors represent a protein family that plays important roles in regulating neuronal development, function, and ...
