Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are promising for the treatment of degenerative diseases and traumatic injuries. However, MSC engraftment is not always successful and requires a strong comprehension of the cytokines and their receptors that mediate

Trophic and neurotrophic factors in human pituitary adenomas (Review) [PDF]
The pituitary gland is an organ that functionally connects the hypothalamus with the peripheral organs. The pituitary gland is an important regulator of body homeostasis during development, stress, and other processes.

The receptors for endothelins (ETs) are classified into the ETA and ETB types. ETB receptors are highly expressed in astrocytes, but pharmacological usages of this receptor are not clarified.

Nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and the chronobiology of mood: a new insight into the "neurotrophic hypothesis" [PDF]
The light information pathways and their relationship with the body rhythms have generated a new insight into the neurobiology and the neurobehavioral sciences, as well as into the clinical approaches to human diseases associated with disruption of ...

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor-Mediated Gene Transfer
One obstacle to effective gene therapies for neurological disorders lies in the cell-type diversity of the nervous system, making it difficult to direct gene delivery vectors to specific types of cells. To meet this challenge, we have developed a recombinant peptide-based gene delivery vector that targets nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors.

NGF, TrkA-P and neuroprotection after a hypoxic event in the developing central nervous system [PDF]
A decrease in the concentration of oxygen in the blood and tissues (hypoxia) produces important, sometimes irreversible, damages in the central nervous system (CNS) both during development and also postnatally.

Both P140TRK and P75NGFR nerve growth factor receptors mediate nerve growth factor-stimulated calcium uptake [PDF]
Human p140(trk) and p75(NGFR) were transfected separately into 3T3 cells. Nerve growth factor stimulates calcium uptake into both transfectants but not into untransfected 3T3 cells. p140(trk) cells were stimulated maximally by 25 ng/ml; 100 ng/ml was submaximal for p75(NGFR) cells.

Nerve growth factor: two receptors, multiple functions
Nerve growth factor (NGF) was characterized over 4 decades ago, and like the other neurotrophins subsequently discovered, it is best known for its trophic role, including the prevention of programmed cell death in specific populations of neurones in the peripheral nervous system. This property can be accounted for by the activation of a tyrosine kinase

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