Neurotrophic factors and corneal nerve regeneration
Neural Regeneration Research, 2017 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 and their effects in the treatment of multiple sclerosis
Advanced Biomedical Research, 2015 Neurotrophins are small molecules of polypeptides, which include nerve growth factor (NGF) family, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands, and neuropoietic cytokines. These factors have an important role in neural regeneration,

Mimicking the neurotrophic factor profile of embryonic spinal cord controls the differentiation potential of spinal progenitors into neuronal cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Recent studies have indicated that the choice of lineage of neural progenitor cells is determined, at least in part, by environmental factors, such as neurotrophic factors.

The Role of BDNF on Neural Plasticity in Depression
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 Using behavioral, pharmacological, and molecular methods, lots of studies reveal that depression is closely related to the abnormal neural plasticity processes occurring in the prefrontal cortex and limbic system such as the hippocampus and amygdala ...

MANF: A New Player in the Control of Energy Homeostasis, and Beyond
Frontiers 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 ...

Neurotrophic factors and neuroplasticity pathways in the pathophysiology and treatment of depression
Psychopharmacology, 2018 Depression is a major health problem with a high prevalence and a heavy socioeconomic burden in western societies. It is associated with atrophy and impaired functioning of cortico-limbic regions involved in mood and emotion regulation.
