In vitro neuroprotective effects of ciliary neurotrophic factor on dorsal root ganglion neurons with glutamate-induced neurotoxicity

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2017
Ciliary neurotrophic factor has neuroprotective effects mediated through signal transducer and Janus kinase (JAK) 2/activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathways.

Neurotrophic factors in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases: implications for pathogenesis and therapy

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2017
Neurotrophic factors comprise essential secreted proteins that have several functions in neural and non-neural tissues, mediating the development, survival and maintenance of peripheral and central nervous system. Therefore, neurotrophic factor issue has

Phase I trial of recombinant human nerve growth factor for neurotrophic keratitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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]

open access: yes, 2020
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
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 ...
