Angiogenesis in Gynecological Cancers: Role of Neurotrophins

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2019
Angiogenesis, or generation of new blood vessels from other pre-existing, is a key process to maintain the supply of nutrients and oxygen in tissues. Unfortunately, this process is exacerbated in pathologies such as retinopathies and cancers with high ...

Effects of castration on the immunoreactivity to NGF, BDNF and their receptors in the pelvic ganglia of the male rat

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and are members of the neurotrophin family, a family of neurotrophic factors that also includes neurotrophin (NT) 3 and NT4/5.

Neurotrophins in Asthma [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Agathisflavone as a Single Therapy or in Association With Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improves Tissue Repair in a Spinal Cord Injury Model in Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Agathisflavone is a flavonoid with anti-neuroinflammatory and myelinogenic properties, being also capable to induce neurogenesis. This study evaluated the therapeutic effects of agathisflavone—both as a pharmacological therapy administered in vivo and as

Trk Receptors and Neurotrophin Cross-Interactions: New Perspectives Toward Manipulating Therapeutic Side-Effects

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Some therapeutic side-effects result from simultaneous activation of homolog receptors by the same ligand. Tropomyosin receptor kinases (TrkA, TrkB and TrkC) play a major role in the development and biology of neurons through neurotrophin signaling.

Activation of Trk neurotrophin receptors in the absence of neurotrophins [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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.

Influence of Quadrato Motor Training on Salivary proNGF and proBDNF

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Previous studies demonstrated exercise-induced modulation of neurotrophins, such as Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).

A Single Aplysia Neurotrophin Mediates Synaptic Facilitation via Differentially Processed Isoforms

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
Neurotrophins control the development and adult plasticity of the vertebrate nervous system. Failure to identify invertebrate neurotrophin orthologs, however, has precluded studies in invertebrate models, limiting our understanding of fundamental aspects

Nerve Growth Factor and Autoimmune Diseases

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
NGF plays a crucial immunomodulatory role and increased levels are found in numerous tissues during autoimmune states. NGF directly modulates innate and adaptive immune responses of B and T cells and causes the release of neuropeptides and ...

Mice with altered BDNF signaling as models for mood disorders and antidepressant effects

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor tyrosine kinase TrkB support neuronal survival during development and promote connectivity and plasticity in the adult brain.
