Neurotrophin Signaling in Medulloblastoma [PDF]
Cancers, 2020 Neurotrophins are a family of secreted proteins that act by binding to tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) or p75NTR receptors to regulate nervous system development and plasticity. Increasing evidence indicates that neurotrophins and their receptors in cancer cells play a role in tumor growth and resistance to treatment.

Respiratory Medicine, 2009 Background: Numerous studies have demonstrated evidence of oxidative stress in COPD, in both respiratory tract lining fluids and biopsies. Antioxidant response in airway inflammatory cells to a pro-oxidative environment is however poorly understood. We have previously demonstrated an enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity in macrophages from asthmatics ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Neurotrophins (NTs) are a subset of the neurotrophic factor family. These growth factors were originally named based on the nerve growth functional assays used to identify them. NTs act as paracrine or autocrine factors for cells expressing NT receptors.

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Severe hearing loss or deafness is often caused by cochlear hair cell loss and can be mitigated by a cochlear implant (CI). CIs target the auditory nerve, consisting of spiral ganglion cells (SGCs), which degenerate gradually, following hair cell loss ...

Correlation Between Irisin and Cognitive Functions in Alzheimer Dementia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.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.

Immune activation of the p75 neurotrophin receptor: implications in neuroinflammation
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023 Despite structural similarity with other tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) members, the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR, TNFR16) mediates pleiotropic biological functions not shared with other TNFRs.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.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 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We demonstrate that Foxp1± mice, modeling FOXP1 haploinsufficiency, exhibit behavioral deficits, striatal neuroinflammatory changes including altered microglial complexity and synaptic pruning, and markedly reduced Pde10a expression. Pde10a inhibition starting immediately after birth restores Foxp1± behavior, microglial morphology, and pruning ...

Neurotrophins and Neurotrophin Receptors in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
PLoS ONE, 2013 Neurotrophins (NTs) are emerging as important mediators of angiogenesis and fibrosis. We investigated the expression of the NTs nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) and their receptors TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
