CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology, 2023 Tanezumab is a monoclonal antibody against nerve growth factor (NGF). We investigated tanezumab pharmacokinetic (PK)‐NGF relationships and predicted the extent of systemic free NGF suppression with target‐mediated drug disposition (TMDD) modeling using ...

Graphene promotes axon elongation through local stall of Nerve Growth Factor signaling endosomes [PDF]
, 2020 Several works reported increased differentiation of neuronal cells grown on graphene; however, the molecular mechanism driving axon elongation on this material has remained elusive. Here, we study the axonal transport of nerve growth factor (NGF), the neurotrophin supporting development of peripheral neurons, as a key player in the time course of ...

Neurotrophins induce fission of mitochondria along embryonic sensory axons
eLife, 2019 Neurotrophins are growth factors that have a multitude of roles in the nervous system. We report that neurotrophins induce the fission of mitochondria along embryonic chick sensory axons driven by combined PI3K and Mek-Erk signaling. Following an initial

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

Incorporation of chitosan microspheres into collagen-chitosan scaffolds for the controlled release of nerve growth factor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Artifical nerve scaffold can be used as a promising alternative to autologous nerve grafts to enhance the repair of peripheral nerve defects. However, current nerve scaffolds lack efficient microstructure and neurotrophic support.Microsphere-Scaffold ...

Changes of Nerve Growth Factor Synthesis in Nonneuronal Cells in Response to Sciatic Nerve Transection [PDF]
, 1987 The intact sciatic nerve contains levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) that are comparable to those of densely innervated peripheral target tissues of NGF-responsive (sympathetic and sensory) neurons.

Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Advanced 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 ...

Ras p21 protein promotes survival and fiber outgrowth of cultured embryonic neurons [PDF]
, 1989 Although evidence obtained with the PC12 cell line has suggested a role for the ras oncogene proteins in the signal transduction of nerve growth factor-mediated fiber outgrowth, little is known about the signal transduction mechanisms involved in the ...

Pressure sensitivity in non-local flow behaviour of dense hydrogel particle suspensions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Slowly sheared particulate media like sand and suspensions flow heterogeneously as they yield via narrow shear bands where most of the strain is accumulated. Understanding shear band localization from microscopics is still a major challenge. One class of so-called non-local theories identified that the width of the shearing zone should depend on the ...
