Neurotransmitters and neurotrophins

, 2006
Introduction In addition to intrinsic control mechanisms (see Chapter 5 and Cepko et al., 1996), the production of neurons by progenitor cells and the determination of their fate are regulated via an array of diffusible factors, two families of which are

Purinergic Receptor P2Y2 Regulates Neurogenesis and Functional Recovery Following Spinal Cord Injury in Zebrafish

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
Although purinergic P2Y2 receptor can regulate neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and neurogenesis in mammals, it is downregulated following spinal cord injury (SCI). It was previously unknown whether this receptor regulates these processes in the more‐regenerative zebrafish model, where the contribution of these responses allows near‐complete ...

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1726-1740, September 2026.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Neurotrophins Support the Development of Diverse Sensory Axon Morphologies

, 1999
The initial outgrowth of peripheral axons in developing embryos is thought to occur independently of neurotrophins. However, the degree to which peripheral neurons can extend axons and elaborate axonal arborizations in the absence of these molecules has ...

Flash Assembloids: A Rapid Biofabrication of a Platform for Modeling Early Glioblastoma Invasion at the Glioblastoma–Brain Organoid Interfaces

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 33, 4 September 2026.
This study presents a bioengineered assembloid (ASM) system combining glioblastoma (GBM) cells in oxidized alginate (OA) microgels with dorsal organoids (DOs). This model simulates brain tumor‐host interactions, revealing enhanced GBM invasion, altered gene expression, and aggressive infiltration patterns, demonstrating ASM as a valuable platform for ...

Mechanically Compliant, Precision‐Porous Brain Implants Reduce the Foreign Body Reaction and Guide Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 33, 4 September 2026.
This study explores how the brain responds to implants of different properties. Hydrogels with various mechanical properties and pore sizes were implanted in adult rat brains. It is observed that hydrogels with mechanical property closely matched to the brain and 40 µm pore size elicit a pro‐healing response from the brain by modulating the immune ...

Evaluation of the Expression and Prognosis of Neural‐Related Products Expressed by Cancer‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells With the Characteristics of Neural Stem Cells

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Studies have demonstrated that the nervous system plays an important role in cancer progression. Nevertheless, the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on cancer has yielded conflicting results. In this study, we discovered that cancer‐derived MSCs (CA‐MSCs) not only exhibit the properties of neural stem cells (NSCs) but also express a ...

Crosstalk Between Cortical Plasticity and Peripheral Nervous Injury: Insights, Mechanisms, and Future Directions

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Peripheral nerve injury induces dynamic cortical plasticity, driven by molecular mechanisms such as BDNF and neurotransmitter systems. This review synthesizes subtype‐specific plasticity patterns: compressive injuries trigger rapid reorganization, while metabolic neuropathies lead to maladaptive changes.

Association of nitric oxide and neurotrophin-3 with cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD): A cross-sectional comparative study

Indian Journal of Psychiatry
Background: Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disorder affecting about 1% of the population, with cognitive decline as a debated feature. Dysregulation of synaptic plasticity plays a key role in its pathogenesis. Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), a polypeptide
