Nerve growth factor receptors in dementia [PDF]

open access: yesTURKISH JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, 2015
Background/aim: Nerve growth factor (NGF) promotes the survival and differentiation of sensory and sympathetic neurons. Several studies have found that certain neuropathological factors stimulate NGF receptor expression and release the truncated nerve ...

Nerve growth factor binding domain of the nerve growth factor receptor. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1991
A structural analysis of the rat low-affinity nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor was undertaken to define the NGF binding domain. Mutant NGF receptor DNA constructs were expressed in mouse fibroblasts or COS cells, and the ability of the mutant receptor to bind NGF was assayed.

Clues from Crouzon: Insights into the potential role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of myelinated retinal nerve fibers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
PurposeWe present a case of bilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF) in an individual with Crouzon syndrome, an inherited form of craniosynostosis caused by overactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2.

Seasonal Expression of NGF and Its Cognate Receptors in the Ovaries of Grey Squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis)

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
The grey squirrel is an invasive alien species that seriously threatens the conservation of the native red squirrel species. With the aim of characterizing the reproductive physiology of this species due to its great reproductive success, the function of

Predicting Axonal Response to Molecular Gradients with a Computational Model of Filopodial Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Axons are often guided to their targets in the developing nervous system by attractive or repulsive molecular concentration gradients. We propose a computational model for gradient sensing and directed movement of the growth cone mediated by filopodia ...

Expression of Low Affinity Nerve Growth Factor Receptor p75 in Classic Bladder Exstrophy

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Successful primary closure of classic bladder exstrophy (BE) is crucial for development of bladder capacity and voided continence. It is universally agreed that an intensive pain management including the use of caudal epidural anesthesia is an essential ...

Aberrant Expression of Histamine-independent Pruritogenic Mediators in Keratinocytes may be Involved in the Pathogenesis of Prurigo Nodularis

open access: yesActa Dermato-Venereologica, 2019
Prurigo nodularis is a highly pruritic and hyperplastic chronic dermatosis with unknown pathogenesis. Many pruritogenic mediators, including nerve growth factor, interleukin (IL)-31, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and endothelin-1, are implicated in ...

Production of a Monoclonal Antibody Directed against the High-Affinity Nerve Growth Factor Receptor

open access: yesThe International Journal of Biological Markers, 1999
The high-affinity nerve growth factor receptor corresponds to the tyrosine protein kinase encoded by the proto-oncogene trkA. Different findings suggest that nerve growth factor (NGF) can be operative in the growth modulation of tumor cell lines ...

Contemporary views on inflammatory pain mechanisms: TRPing over innate and microglial pathways. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Tissue injury, whether by trauma, surgical intervention, metabolic dysfunction, ischemia, or infection, evokes a complex cellular response (inflammation) that is associated with painful hyperalgesic states.

Biodegradable magnesium wire promotes regeneration of compressed sciatic nerves

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2016
Magnesium (Mg) wire has been shown to be biodegradable and have anti-inflammatory properties. It can induce Schwann cells to secrete nerve growth factor and promote the regeneration of nerve axons after central nervous system injury. We hypothesized that
