Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit worldwide with no approved therapeutics for treatment. Local neurotrophin delivery into the cochlea has shown great potential in protecting and repairing the sensory cells important for hearing.

Neurotrophin‐3 targets the translational initiation machinery in oligodendrocytes [PDF]
AbstractNeurotrophin‐3 (NT‐3) regulates oligodendrocyte (OLG) differentiation by mechanisms that remain poorly understood. Exposure of OLGs to NT‐3 induces a significant increase in the levels of myelin basic protein (MBP). However, we found that this stimulation occurs in the absence of measurable effects on MBP gene promoter activation or mRNA ...

Neurotrophin-3 is increased in skin in human diabetic neuropathy [PDF]
Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), a member of the neurotrophin family, has been shown to be necessary for the development of muscle spindle and Merkel cell afferent nerve fibres in animal models. The presence of NT-3 in the suprabasal epidermis, where many unmyelinated sensory fibres terminate, has been shown for the first time.

Correlation Between Irisin and Cognitive Functions in Alzheimer Dementia
ABSTRACT Objective The myokine irisin, a recent positive mediator of exercise in the brain, shows neuroprotective functions against Alzheimer's disease (AD). The association between irisin and cognition has never been explored in a biologically defined cohort of patients.

To explore the role of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) during cerebral ischemia, NT-3-deficient brains were subjected to transient focal ischemia. Conditional mutant brains produced undetectable amounts of NT-3 mRNA, whereas the expression of the neurotrophin ...

A novel blood‐brain barrier‐penetrating terpolymer nanoparticle to deliver brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is designed. The BDNF‐TPN significantly enhances BDNF accumulation in the brain following intravenous injection, reduces apoptosis and neuroinflammation, thus promoting neuronal survival and ...

Activation of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis increases energy expenditure and promotes weight loss in mice. Here the authors identify neurotrophic factor neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) as an adipokine that regulates sympathetic nervous system growth and ...
