A novel inhibitor of p75-neurotrophin receptor improves functional outcomes in two models of traumatic brain injury. [PDF]
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important in multiple physiological actions including neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth during development, and after central nervous system injury.

Involvement of Bradykinin Receptor 2 in Nerve Growth Factor Neuroprotective Activity
Neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) has been demonstrated to upregulate the gene expression of bradykinin receptor 2 (B2R) on sensory neurons, thus facilitating nociceptive signals. The aim of the present study is to investigate the involvement of B2R

Increased expression and activity of p75NTR are crucial events in azacitidine-induced cell death in prostate cancer [PDF]
The high affinity nerve growth factor (NGF) NGF receptor, p75NTR, is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily that shares a conserved intracellular death domain capable of inducing apoptosis and suppressing growth in prostate ...

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

17β-Estradiol Enhances the Production of Nerve Growth Factor in THP-1-Derived Macrophages or Peripheral Blood Monocyte-Derived Macrophages [PDF]
We examined in vitro effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) on nerve growth factor production by macrophages derived from monocytic cell line THP-1-or periphereal blood monocytes.

Hidden receptors for nerve growth factor in PC12 cells [PDF]
The binding of nerve growth factor (NGF) to its receptors in PC12 cells was studied in two experimental conditions: (a) cell fixation with paraformaldehyde followed by permeabilization of the plasma membrane with methanol and (b) metabolic poisoning of living cells with sodium azide.

The impact of high density receptor clusters on VEGF signaling [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is involved in the process of blood vessel development and maintenance. Signaling is initiated by binding of the bivalent VEGF ligand to the membrane-bound receptors (VEGFR), which in turn stimulates receptor dimerization.

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