Neurotrophic factor-based pharmacological approaches in neurological disorders

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
Aging is a physiological event dependent on multiple pathways that are linked to lifespan and processes leading to cognitive decline. This process represents the major risk factor for aging-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s ...

Neurotrophic factors in tension-type headache

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2015
Neurotrophic factors (NF) are involved in pain regulation and a few studies have suggested that they may play a pathophysiological role in primary headaches. The aim of this study was to investigate NF levels in patients with tension type headache (TTH).

Polydopamine-modified chitin conduits with sustained release of bioactive peptides enhance peripheral nerve regeneration in rats

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
[INLINE:1] The introduction of neurotrophic factors into injured peripheral nerve sites is beneficial to peripheral nerve regeneration. However, neurotrophic factors are rapidly degraded in vivo and obstruct axonal regeneration when used at a ...

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,

Neurotrophic signaling in liver cancers: mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets [PDF]

Exploration of Digestive Diseases
Recent studies demonstrate that peripheral innervation and Schwann cells (SCs) activity within the tumor microenvironment (TME) have a significant influence on liver cancer, specifically hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (

Neurotrophic Factors in Multiple Sclerosis: a Review of the Mechanism [PDF]

Neurology Letters
The objective of this review is to examine the mechanistic roles of neurotrophic factors (NTFs) in the pathology of multiple sclerosis (MS) and their potential as therapeutic agents. MS is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS),

Grafts of Fibroblasts Genetically Modified to Secrete Ngf, Bdnf, Nt-3, or Basic Fgf Elicit Differential Responses in the Adult Spinal Cord

Cell Transplantation, 1996
Neuronal and axonal responses to neurotrophic factors in the developing spinal cord have been relatively well characterized, but little is known about adult spinal responses to neurotrophic factors.
