Stroke is the leading neurological cause of death and disability all over the world, with few effective drugs. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is well known for its multifaceted neuroprotective functions post-ischemia.

Incorporation of chitosan microspheres into collagen-chitosan scaffolds for the controlled release of nerve growth factor. [PDF]
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 ...

Safety and feasibility of Lin- cells administration to ALS patients : a novel view on humoral factors and miRNA profiles [PDF]
Therapeutic options for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are still limited. Great hopes, however, are placed in growth factors that show neuroprotective abilities (e.g., nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and vascular

Biogenesis and Function of the NGF/TrkA Signaling Endosome
Target-derived neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptor TrkA are well known for retrograde signaling to promote survival and innervation of sympathetic and sensory neurons.

Dysregulated TCA cycle contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Here, we show that microglial isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is a critical driver. Elevated IDH1 disrupts citrate metabolism and mitochondrial function, exacerbating AD pathology.

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.

This study identifies a FOSL2‐driven positive feedback loop that amplifies FSH/FSHR signaling. During FSH‐dependent follicle maturation, FSH induces Fosl2 expression via the cAMP‐PKA‐CREB cascade. FOSL2 in turn binds the promoters of Fshr and estrogen‐biosynthesis genes to enhance their transcription, thereby increasing Fshr mRNA level and amplifying ...

Neurotrophins induce fission of mitochondria along embryonic sensory axons
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

APP regulates NGF receptor trafficking and NGF-mediated neuronal differentiation and survival. [PDF]
β-Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a key factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD) but its physiological function is largely undetermined. APP has been found to regulate retrograde transport of nerve growth factor (NGF), which plays a crucial role in ...

Ca2+ transients are not required as signals for long-term neurite outgrowth from cultured sympathetic neurons [PDF]
A method for clamping cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in cultures of rat sympathetic neurons at or below resting levels for several days was devised to determine whether Ca2+ signals are required for neurite outgrowth from neurons that depend on Nerve ...
