Neuroinflammation, Mast Cells, and Glia: Dangerous Liaisons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The perspective of neuroinflammation as an epiphenomenon following neuron damage is being replaced by the awareness of glia and their importance in neural functions and disorders.

Modeling Glioma Growth and Invasion in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2009
Glioblastoma is the most common and most malignant intrinsic human brain tumor, characterized by extensive invasion and proliferation of glial (astrocytic) tumor cells, frequent activation of tyrosine kinase receptor signaling pathways, relative ...

Acute- and late-phase matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity is comparable in female and male rats after peripheral nerve injury. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
BACKGROUND:In the peripheral nerve, pro-inflammatory matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 performs essential functions in the acute response to injury. Whether MMP-9 activity contributes to late-phase injury or whether MMP-9 expression or activity after ...

Expression and Function of Nerve Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor Receptor on Cultured Keratinocytes

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 1994
Keratinocytes, a key cellular component both for homeostasis and pathophysiologic processes of the skin, secrete a number of cytokines and are stimulated by several growth factors. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized in the skin and basal keratinocytes express the low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGF-R).

Involvement of polymorphisms of the nerve growth factor and its receptor encoding genes in the etiopathogenesis of ischemic stroke

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2018
Background Despite the important role of the nerve growth factor in the survival and maintenance of neurons in ischemic stroke, data regarding the relationships between variations in the encoding gene and stroke are lacking.

Drosophila Neurotrophins Reveal a Common Mechanism for Nervous System Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Neurotrophic interactions occur in Drosophila, but to date, no neurotrophic factor had been found. Neurotrophins are the main vertebrate secreted signalling molecules that link nervous system structure and function: they regulate neuronal survival ...

Modified insulin-like growth factor 1 containing collagen-binding domain for nerve regeneration

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2018
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a potential nutrient for nerve repair. However, it is impractical as a therapy because of its limited half-life, rapid clearance, and limited target specificity.

Expression and Signaling Pathways of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Pro-NGF in Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review

open access: yesCurrent Oncology, 2022
Breast cancer represents the most common type of cancer and is the leading cause of death due to cancer among women. Thus, the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer is of primary urgency, as well as the development of new treatments able to ...

Signalling mechanisms of long term facilitation of breathing with intermittent hypoxia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Intermittent hypoxia causes long-term facilitation (LTF) of respiratory motor nerve activity and ventilation, which manifests as a persistent increase over the normoxic baseline for an hour or more after the acute hypoxic ventilatory response.

15d-Prostaglandin J2 Enhancement of Nerve Growth Factor–Induced Neurite Outgrowth Is Blocked by the Chemoattractant Receptor– Homologous Molecule Expressed on T-Helper Type 2 Cells (CRTH2) Antagonist CAY10471 in PC12 Cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
The chemoattractant receptor–homologous molecule expressed on T-helper type 2 cells (CRTH2) is the most recently identified prostaglandin (PG) receptor for both PGD2 and 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2).
