TrkA regulates the regenerative capacity of bone marrow stromal stem cells in nerve grafts
We previously demonstrated that overexpression of tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) promotes the survival and Schwann cell-like differentiation of bone marrow stromal stem cells in nerve grafts, thereby enhancing the regeneration and functional ...

Deletion of Tsc2 in nociceptors reduces target innervation, ion channel expression, and sensitivity to heat [PDF]
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is known to regulate cellular growth pathways, and its genetic activation is sufficient to enhance regenerative axon growth following injury to the central or peripheral nervous systems.

Regressive Neuroblastoma: Widely Accepted, Underreported Histology
Whole‐mount section of the regressed neuroblastoma within the adrenal gland, showing a loose, collagenous, and edematous stroma. ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma accounts for approximately 8% of all pediatric cancers and up to 15% of pediatric cancer‐related deaths in malignant cases; neuroblastoma is the most common malignancy in infancy.

Receptor tyrosine kinases activate canonical WNT/β-catenin signaling via MAP kinase/LRP6 pathway and direct β-catenin phosphorylation. [PDF]
Receptor tyrosine kinase signaling cooperates with WNT/β-catenin signaling in regulating many biological processes, but the mechanisms of their interaction remain poorly defined.

Purification of TrkA intracellular domain and the characterization of novel intracellular proteins : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Molecular Biology at Massey University [PDF]
Nerve growth factor (NGF) binds to its receptor, TrkA, at the tips of nerve cell axons to inhibit apoptosis, causing survival and differentiation.

Chronic Pain: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Clinical Management
The multidimensional nature of chronic pain is illustrated through four interconnected domains. (Left) Epidemiology and Global Burden: Chronic pain affects approximately one in five individuals globally, contributing to a rising trend in disability‐adjusted life years (YLDs) and a significant socioeconomic impact.

This study investigates four Chinese families with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA). Through next‐generation sequencing, we identified seven NTRK1 variants, including two novel mutations. Functional characterization of five identified missense and indel variants revealed distinct disruptions in the NGF‐TrkA pathway, ranging from ...

Hypofunctional TrkA Accounts for the Absence of Pain Sensitization in the African Naked Mole-Rat
The naked mole-rat is a subterranean rodent lacking several pain behaviors found in humans, rats, and mice. For example, nerve growth factor (NGF), an important mediator of pain sensitization, fails to produce thermal hyperalgesia in naked mole-rats. The

Engineered GM1 Intersects Between Mitochondrial and Synaptic Pathways to Ameliorate ALS Pathology
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease driven by genetic and molecular disruptions affecting energy balance, protein homeostasis, and stress responses in nerve cells. Studies using human and rodent models identified convergent defects in mitochondria and synaptic function.
