Development of affinity-based delivery of NGF from a chondroitin sulfate biomaterial. [PDF]

, 2011
Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of the extracellular matrix in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Chondroitin sulfate is upregulated at injury, thus methods to promote neurite extension through chondroitin sulfate-rich matrices and

NGF-mediated tumor–stroma crosstalk promotes prostate cancer aggressiveness [PDF]

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Nerve growth factor (NGF) is involved in prostate cancer (PC) pathogenesis and progression. Nevertheless, its source and its role in tumor microenvironment remain still unclear as well as its contribution to tumor–stroma interactions.

β-NGF and β-NGF receptor upregulation in blood and synovial fluid in osteoarthritis

Biological Chemistry, 2017
Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is the most common form of non-traumatic joint disease. Previous studies have shown the involvement of β-NGF and its receptors TrKA and p75NTR in OA-related pain, but their role in its pathogenesis is still unclear.

Investigation of the association between cardio-metabolic risk factors, neurotrophins and gastric hormones among apparently healthy women: A cross-sectional analysis [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2022
Introduction: Although, some evidence has shown that obestatin, ghrelin, and neurotrophic factors can be involved in the development of cardio-metabolic risk factors, there are some contradictions in this regard.

Electroacupuncture Increases the Expression of Gas7 and NGF in the Prefrontal Cortex of Male Rats with Focal Cerebral Ischemia

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2023
Objective: To investigate the potential mechanisms underlying the migration of endogenous neural stem cells (eNSCs) to the frontal cortex to differentiate into neurons, and to monitor the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) regulation of focal cerebral ...

The influence of electronic acupuncture at a specific frequency in facilitating the passage of NGF through the blood-brain barrier and its effect on learning and memory in MCAO/R rats

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
Background: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) maintains the balance of the internal environment of the brain and strictly controls substance exchange between the brain and blood dynamically but stably. Transient increases in the permeability of the BBB plays

NGF activates NFAT via the MEK1/2 pathway in PC12 cells

All Life, 2022
Nerve growth factor (NGF) plays a key role in controlling growth, maintenance and survival of neurons as well as nociceptor development. Many of its critical actions are believed to be mediated by activation of corresponding transcription factors. Here I

Three-Dimensional Model of Dorsal Root Ganglion Explant as a Method of Studying Neurotrophic Factors in Regenerative Medicine

Biomedicines, 2020
Neurotrophiс factors play a key role in the development, differentiation, and survival of neurons and nerve regeneration. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of certain neurotrophic factors (NGF, BDNF, and GDNF) on axon growth and migration of ...
