Neurotrophic Factors in Health and Disease [PDF]
Neurotrophic factors, including neurotrophins and neuropeptides, are secreted proteins that regulate the survival, development, and physiological functions of neurons in both the central and peripheral nervous systems [...]

Neurotrophic factors in multiple sclerosis [PDF]
Smoldering inflammation and neurodegeneration, primarily driven by intraparenchymal immune cell activation and glial dysfunction, remains a major therapeutic challenge in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and contributes largely to disability progression.

Neurotrophic factors and corneal nerve regeneration [PDF]
The cornea has unique features that make it a useful model for regenerative medicine studies. It is an avascular, transparent, densely innervated tissue and any pathological changes can be easily detected by slit lamp examination.

Neurotrophic factors in the porcine ovary: Their effects on follicular growth, oocyte maturation, and developmental competence [PDF]
Pigs are cost-effective industrial animals because they produce a large number of offspring and have shorter rebreeding intervals compared with other animals, such as non-human primates.

The Role of Metals in the Neuroregenerative Action of BDNF, GDNF, NGF and Other Neurotrophic Factors [PDF]
Mature neurotrophic factors and their propeptides play key roles ranging from the regulation of neuronal growth and differentiation to prominent participation in neuronal survival and recovery after injury.

Neurotrophic basis to the pathogenesis of depression and phytotherapy
Depression is a major neuropsychiatric disease that considerably impacts individuals’ psychosocial function and life quality. Neurotrophic factors are now connected to the pathogenesis of depression, while the definitive neurotrophic basis remains ...

Background: Evidence indicates that exercise holds the potential to counteract neurodegeneration experienced by persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), which is in part believed to be mediated through increases in neurotrophic factors. There is a need to

Ciliary neurotrophic factor [PDF]
AbstractCiliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) was first identified and partially purified from embryonic chick eye tissues. Subsequently, it was shown that CNTF is also present in large amounts in sciatic nerves of adult rats and rabbits, which led to its final purification and cloning. CNTF is not secreted by the classical secretory pathway involving the

Melatonin: A Neurotrophic Factor?
Melatonin, N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, is a hormone that synchronizes the internal environment with the photoperiod. It is synthesized in the pineal gland and greatly depends on the endogenous circadian clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and the retina’s exposure to different light intensities.
