Neurotrophins and hyperalgesia [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Nerve growth factor (NGF), a member of the neurotrophin family, is crucial for survival of nociceptive neurons during development. Recently, it has been shown to play an important role in nociceptive function in adults. NGF is up-regulated after inflammatory injury of the skin.

Airway Sensory Nerve Plasticity in Asthma and Chronic Cough
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Airway sensory nerves detect a wide variety of chemical and mechanical stimuli, and relay signals to circuits within the brainstem that regulate breathing, cough, and bronchoconstriction.

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2018 Asthma is a chronic airway disease that affects more than 300 million people worldwide. Current treatment focuses on symptomatic relief by temporally dampening inflammation and relaxing the airway. Novel combative strategies against asthma and hopefully a cure are yet to be developed.

Transactivation of TrkB Receptors by Oxytocin and Its G Protein-Coupled Receptor
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) binds to the TrkB tyrosine kinase receptor, which dictates the sensitivity of neurons to BDNF. A unique feature of TrkB is the ability to be activated by small molecules in a process called transactivation.

Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition: A Mechanism that Fuels Cancer Radio/Chemoresistance
Cells, 2020 Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes to tumor progression, cancer cell invasion, and therapy resistance. EMT is regulated by transcription factors such as the protein products of the SNAI gene family, which inhibits the expression of ...

Activation of Trk neurotrophin receptors in the absence of neurotrophins [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 Neurotrophins regulate neuronal cell survival and synaptic plasticity through activation of Trk receptor tyrosine kinases. Binding of neurotrophins to Trk receptors results in receptor autophosphorylation and downstream phosphorylation cascades.

Detection of BDNF-Related Proteins in Human Perilymph in Patients With Hearing Loss
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 The outcome of cochlear implantation depends on multiple variables including the underlying health of the cochlea. Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been shown to support spiral ganglion neurons and to improve implant function in animal models.
