Geraniol Ameliorates the Motor Behavior and Neurotrophic Factors Inadequacy in MPTP-Induced Mice Model of Parkinson’s Disease

Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, 2013
Many experiments affirm the notion that augmentation of neurotrophic factors (NTFs) activity, especially brain-derived neurotrophic factors and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factors, could prevent or halt the progress of neurodegeneration in Parkinson ...

Integrated ‘Shield‐Spear’ Biological Patch for Fibrosis‐Free Bladder Reconstruction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibrosis‐free bladder reconstruction remains challenging. This study pioneers an integrated “shield‐spear” patch: The outer anionic hydrogel layer captures GATA6+ macrophages to suppress collagen overexpression, while the inner S100 aptamer‐engineered EVs target Schwann cells to downregulate the TGFβ/Smad pathway—inhibiting fibrosis with enhanced wound

Imbalance of p75(NTR)/TrkB protein expression in Huntington's disease: Implication for neuroprotective therapies [PDF]

, 2013
Neuroprotective therapies based on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) administration have been proposed for Huntington's disease (HD) treatment. However, our group has recently reported reduced levels of TrkB in HD mouse models and HD human brain ...

Advanced Biomaterial Delivery of Hypoxia‐Conditioned Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) as a Therapeutic Platform for Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This research introduces a novel approach to enhance neuroregeneration following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are isolated from human neural progenitor cells under hypoxic conditions, leading to enhanced expression of neurogenic and angiogenic factors.

Local BDNF Delivery to the Injured Cervical Spinal Cord using an Engineered Hydrogel Enhances Diaphragmatic Respiratory Function. [PDF]

, 2018
We developed an innovative biomaterial-based approach to repair the critical neural circuitry that controls diaphragm activation by locally delivering brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to injured cervical spinal cord.

Current advances in using neurotrophic factors to treat neurodegenerative disorders

Translational Neurodegeneration, 2012
Neurotrophic factors are best known for their roles in both development and continued maintenance of the nervous system. Their strong potential to elicit pro-survival and pro-functional responses in neurons of the peripheral and central nervous system ...

AGAPIR: A Novel PIWI‐Interacting RNA Enhancing Post‐Decompression Angiogenesis in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The restoration of blood flow following surgical decompression for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) significantly contributes to the amelioration of neurological deficits. This study identifies AGAPIR, an angiogenesis‐associated PIWI‐interacting RNA, enhances angiogenesis and motor function recovery post‐spinal cord decompression in a mouse model

Repair of peripheral nerve defects with chemically extracted acellular nerve allografts loaded with neurotrophic factors-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Chemically extracted acellular nerve allografts loaded with brain-derived neurotrophic factor-transfected or ciliary neurotrophic factor-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have been shown to repair sciatic nerve injury better than chemically ...
