Effects of a synthetic bioactive peptide on neurite growth and nerve growth factor release in chondroitin sulfate hydrogels. [PDF]
Previous work has revealed robust dorsal root ganglia neurite growth in hydrogels of chondroitin sulfate. In the current work, it was determined whether addition of a synthetic bioactive peptide could augment neurite growth in these matrices via enhanced

Hypothesis review: Alzheimer's overture guidelines
Brain aging with ADNC and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) form a prevalent continuum unique to humans. Molecular changes affecting cell membranes, cytoskeleton, synapses, lipid and protein metabolism, energy metabolism, neuroinflammation, cell cycle, astrocytes, microglia, and blood vessels precede and occur in parallel with early ADNC; and they are

Improvement of sciatic nerve regeneration using laminin-binding human NGF-beta. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Sciatic nerve injuries often cause partial or total loss of motor, sensory and autonomic functions due to the axon discontinuity, degeneration, and eventual death which finally result in substantial functional loss and decreased quality of ...

High Fat Low Carbohydrate Diet Is Linked to CNS Autoimmunity Protection
Mapping global epidemiological data to macronutrient supply reveals high carbohydrate, in contrast to high fat supply, associates with increased multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence and incidence. This is confirmed in a mouse MS model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), using isocaloric diets: a high carbohydrate diet aggravates, a high ...

Simultaneous effect of aerobic exercise and nanocurcumin supplementation on the expression of BDNF and NGF genes in rats with brain tumor [PDF]
Introduction: Increased nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling in neuroblastoma cells may represent an autocrine system to support cancer growth, invasion, and metastasis.

TGF-β regulates nerve growth factor expression in a mouse intervertebral disc injury model
Background Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a major cause of low back pain (LBP). Following disc injury, nerve growth factor (NGF) concentrations rise in IVDs, and anti-NGF therapy has been shown to attenuate LBP in humans.

NGF, TrkA-P and neuroprotection after a hypoxic event in the developing central nervous system [PDF]
A decrease in the concentration of oxygen in the blood and tissues (hypoxia) produces important, sometimes irreversible, damages in the central nervous system (CNS) both during development and also postnatally.
