A novel anti-NGF PEGylated Fab’ provides analgesia with lower risk of adverse effects

open access: yesmAbs, 2023
Nerve growth factor (NGF) has emerged as a key driver of pain perception in several chronic pain conditions, including osteoarthritis (OA), and plays an important role in the generation and survival of neurons.

Using NGF heparin-poloxamer thermosensitive hydrogels to enhance the nerve regeneration for spinal cord injury

open access: yesActa Biomaterialia, 2015
Objective Nerve growth factor (NGF) has potential in spinal cord injury (SCI) therapy, but limited by the poor physicochemical stability and low ability to cross the blood spinal cord barrier.

Herpes simplex virus-1 entry into cells mediated by a novel member of the TNF/NGF receptor family.

open access: yesCell, 1996
We identified and cloned a cellular mediator of herpes simplex virus (HSV) entry. Hamster and swine cells resistant to viral entry became susceptible upon expression of a human cDNA encoding this protein, designated HVEM (for herpesvirus entry mediator).

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Synergistic effects of graphene oxide loading and particle size in ice-templated carboxymethyl cellulose–based aerogels on dye removal

open access: yesScientific Reports
Sustainable carboxymethyl cellulose/graphene oxide (GO) aerogels were fabricated via epichlorohydrin cross-linking and ice-templating for effective methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions. The synergistic effects of GO loading (1, 3, and 5 wt%)

Advancing Human Skin Equivalents: The Crucial Role of Neurovascular Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the importance of integrating vascular and peripheral nerve systems into human skin equivalents (HSEs) to better recapitulate native skin physiology. Recent advances in vascularized, innervated, and neurovascularized HSEs are highlighted, together with emerging bioengineering strategies, current challenges, and future ...

Muscle Progenitors Derived from Extraocular Muscles Express Higher Levels of Neurotrophins and their Receptors than other Cranial and Limb Muscles

open access: yesCells, 2020
Extraocular muscles (EOMs) show resistance to muscle dystrophies and sarcopenia. It has been recently demonstrated that they are endowed with different types of myogenic cells, all of which present an outstanding regenerative potential. Neurotrophins are

NGF and the Amyloid Precursor Protein in Alzheimer’s Disease: From Molecular Players to Neuronal Circuits

open access: yes, 2021
Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the most common causes of dementia in elderly people, is characterized by progressive impairment in cognitive function, early degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCNs), abnormal metabolism of the amyloid

Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...
