Endogenous neurotrophin-3 promotes neuronal sprouting from dorsal root ganglia

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
In the present study, we investigated the role of endogenous neurotrophin-3 in nerve terminal sprouting 2 months after spinal cord dorsal root rhizotomy.

Neurotrophin-3 regulates ribbon synapse density in the cochlea and induces synapse regeneration after acoustic trauma

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Neurotrophin-3 (Ntf3) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) are critical for sensory neuron survival and establishment of neuronal projections to sensory epithelia in the embryonic inner ear, but their postnatal functions remain poorly understood.

Differential Phosphorylation of Smad1 Integrates BMP and Neurotrophin Pathways through Erk/Dusp in Axon Development

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
Sensory axon development requires concerted actions of growth factors for the precise control of axonal outgrowth and target innervation. How developing sensory neurons integrate different cues is poorly understood.

Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition: A Mechanism that Fuels Cancer Radio/Chemoresistance

open access: yesCells, 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 ...

Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
What if damaged nerves could regenerate more effectively? This review unveils cutting‐edge strategies to restore nerve function, from biomaterial scaffolds and bioactive molecules to living engineered tissues. By accelerating axonal regrowth, preserving Schwann cells, and enhancing connectivity, these approaches are reshaping nerve repair—offering new ...

Neuroprotection: Pro-survival and Anti-neurotoxic Mechanisms as Therapeutic Strategies in Neurodegeneration

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Neurotrophin Signaling via TrkB and TrkC Receptors Promotes the Growth of Brain Tumor-initiating Cells*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Background: The role of Trk neurotrophin receptors in glioma is unknown. Results: TrkB and TrkC are required for survival of brain tumor-initiating cells in the absence of EGF and FGF.

Insights on Advances in 3D Bioprinting for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Peripheral nerve injury is a common condition due to trauma that significantly impacts the life of the affected individual. This review explores the anatomy, classification, and pathophysiology of peripheral nerve injuries. It also discusses various types of nerve conduits and presents a detailed review of 3D bioprinted nerve conduits used in both in ...

Flexible Transmitter Network [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Current neural networks are mostly built upon the MP model, which usually formulates the neuron as executing an activation function on the real-valued weighted aggregation of signals received from other neurons. In this paper, we propose the Flexible Transmitter (FT) model, a novel bio-plausible neuron model with flexible synaptic plasticity.

Accelerated Bone Healing via Electrical Stimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrical stimulation significantly impacts bone healing by enhancing osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and vascularization through calmodulin/calcineurin/NFAT signaling. It also boosts macrophage function and cell migration, presenting a comprehensive approach to accelerating bone repair.
