Drosophila Neurotrophins Reveal a Common Mechanism for Nervous System Formation [PDF]
Neurotrophic interactions occur in Drosophila, but to date, no neurotrophic factor had been found. Neurotrophins are the main vertebrate secreted signalling molecules that link nervous system structure and function: they regulate neuronal survival ...

Neurotrophic factors in the testis
Neurotrophic factors, interacting with neurons to affect their growth, are a subset of the polypeptide growth factors. There is increasing evidence for a broader physiological role of these factors which includes effects on a variety of nonneuronal tissues.

Rewiring Neuroimmunity: Nanoplatform Innovations for CNS Disease Therapy
This review explores emerging nanoplatform strategies designed to modulate neuroimmune responses for treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders. It examines structural and microenvironmental barriers, advances in multifunctional and targeted nanotechnologies, and highlights clinical progress and translational challenges, offering insights into the

Neurotrophic growth factors for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: where do we stand ?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that results in progressive loss of motoneurons, motor weakness and death within 3-5 years after disease onset.

TrkB signaling is required for postnatal survival of CNS neurons and protects hippocampal and motor neurons from axotomy-induced cell death [PDF]
Newborn mice carrying targeted mutations in genes encoding neurotrophins or their signaling Trk receptors display severe neuronal deficits in the peripheral nervous system but not in the CNS. In this study, we show that trkB (¿/¿) mice have a significant

Emerging Therapeutic Strategies for Hearing Loss
Challenges still exist in treating hearing loss in cases of severe damage to hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons. Here, a schematic diagram of cochlear sensory hair cells and auditory nerves is presented. It is found that in normal Corti organs, hair cells have upright stereocilia at the top and auditory neurons at the base. Ototoxic drugs, noise, or

Induced Stem Cells as a Novel Multiple Sclerosis Therapy. [PDF]
Stem cell replacement is providing hope for many degenerative diseases that lack effective therapeutic methods including multiple sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Transplantation of neural stem cells or

Increasing the specificity of neurotrophic factors [PDF]
Neurotrophic factors are capable of accomplishing many tasks. In addition to regulating neural cell survival and differentiation, they can influence changes in synaptic transmission and higher order behaviors, such as aggression, addiction, depression, learning, and memory.
