Current Pharmacologic Approaches in Painful Bladder Research: An Update [PDF]
The symptoms of interstitial cystitis (IC)/bladder pain syndrome (BPS) may have multiple causes and involve many contributing factors. Traditional treatments (intravesical instillations) have had a primary focus on the bladder as origin of symptoms ...

Nerve growth factor receptors on normal and injured sensory neurons
The density and binding properties of receptors for nerve growth factor (NGF) in normal and injured sensory neurons have been analyzed by quantitative radioautography following incubation of tissue sections with radioiodinated NGF.

Targeting nerve growth factor: an Achilles’ heel for tumors?
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.

Modeling Glioma Growth and Invasion in Drosophila melanogaster
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 ...

Nerve Growth Factor-Regulated Emergence of Functional Delta-Opioid Receptors
Sorting of intracellular G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) either to lysosomes for degradation or to plasma membrane for surface insertion and functional expression is a key process regulating signaling strength of GPCRs across the plasma membrane in ...

FGF5 Regulates Schwann Cell Migration and Adhesion
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family polypeptides play key roles in promoting tissue regeneration and repair. FGF5 is strongly up-regulated in Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system following injury; however, a role for FGF5 in peripheral ...

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is produced as a precursor called pro-nerve growth factor (proNGF), which is secreted by many tissues and is the predominant form of NGF in the central nervous system.

Molecular characteristics of nerve growth factor receptors on PC12 cells.
Cross-linking of 125I-nerve growth factor (NGF) to PC12 cells with the photoreactive heterobifunctional agent N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidobenzoate results in the labeling of two major bands with Mr 158,000 and 100,000 and a minor band with Mr 225,000 as
