Nerve growth factor receptors in dementia [PDF]
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 growth factor receptor (TNGFR) to biological fluids.

Targeting nerve growth factor: an Achilles’ heel for tumors? [PDF]
A tumor’s ability to attract innervation is a critical factor in tumor progression and immune escape, with the sympathetic nervous system playing a major role.

Plain English summary Ceramide and sphingomyelin reportedly are important both for differentiation of nerve cells and for their death. We studied PC12 cells, which can differentiate into neuron-like cells in the presence of nerve growth factor and cells ...

The effects of painless nerve growth factor on human microglia polarization
Previous studies in the rat suggest that microglial cells represent a potential druggable target for nerve growth factor (NGF) in the brain. The painless human Nerve Growth Factor (hNGFp) is a recombinant mutated form of human nerve growth factor (hNGF ...

Exposure to nerve growth factor worsens nephrotoxic effect induced by Cyclosporine A in HK-2 cells. [PDF]
Nerve growth factor is a neurotrophin that promotes cell growth, differentiation, survival and death through two different receptors: TrkA(NTR) and p75(NTR).

Nerve growth factor in muscle afferent neurons of peripheral artery disease and autonomic function
In peripheral artery disease patients, the blood supply directed to the lower limbs is reduced. This results in severe limb ischemia and thereby enhances pain sensitivity in lower limbs.

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