p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Regulates Energy Balance in Obesity
Obesity and metabolic syndrome reflect the dysregulation of molecular pathways that control energy homeostasis. Here, we show that the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) controls energy expenditure in obese mice on a high-fat diet (HFD).

p75NTR in Huntington's disease: beyond the basal ganglia
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder with a characteristic phenotype including chorea and dystonia, uncoordinated fine movements, cognitive decline and psychiatric disturbances. Even though the clinical diagnosis of HD relies on the manifestation of motor abnormalities, the associated memory ...

Molecular and Structural Insight into proNGF Engagement of p75NTR and Sortilin [PDF]
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is initially synthesized as a precursor, proNGF, that is cleaved to release its C-terminal mature form. Recent studies suggested that proNGF is not an inactive precursor but acts as a signaling ligand distinct from its mature counterpart.

Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) are a promising source in regenerative medicine. Due to the complexity and heterogeneity of hPDLSCs, it is critical to isolate homogeneous hPDLSCs with high regenerative potential.

p75NTR‐dependent modulation of cellular handling of reactive oxygen species [PDF]
AbstractOur previous studies demonstrated that p75NTR confers protection against oxidative stress‐induced apoptosis upon PC12 cells; however, the mechanisms responsible for this effect are not known. The present studies reveal decreased mitochondrion membrane potential and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in p75NTR‐deficient PC12 ...

Retinoma, a benign tumor caused by biallelic retinoblastoma gene (RB1) inactivation, offers key insights into retinoblastoma development and oncogenesis. This review explores its molecular genetics, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and potential implications for advancing the prevention and treatment of retinoblastoma.

Despite its undisputable role in the homeostatic regulation of the nervous system, the nerve growth factor (NGF) also governs the relevant cellular processes in other tissues and organs.

ABSTRACT Spaceflight poses unique challenges to human health due to exposure to increased levels of cosmic radiation, microgravity, and associated oxidative stress. These environmental factors can lead to cellular damage, inflammation, and a range of health complications, including cardiovascular problems, immune system impairment, and an increased ...

In vitro models of valproic acid to assess neurodevelopmental toxicity: A scoping review
Abstract Valproic acid (VPA) is a first‐line antiseizure medication (ASM) that is highly efficacious for treating generalized and focal epilepsy disorders. Unfortunately, due to its strong association with teratogenic effects culminating in fetal valproate spectrum disorder (FVSD), which may include neurocognitive and neurobehavioral deficits, the drug
