An Inflammation-Centric View of Neurological Disease: Beyond the Neuron [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Inflammation is a complex biological response fundamental to how the body deals with injury and infection to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury and effect repair.

Endothelin systems in the brain: involvement in pathophysiological responses of damaged nerve tissues

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2013
In addition to their potent vasoconstriction effects, endothelins (ETs) show multiple actions in various tissues including the brain. The brain contains high levels of ETs, and their production is stimulated in many brain disorders. Accumulating evidence

Neurotrophins and Neuropathic Pain: Role in Pathobiology

open access: yesMolecules, 2015
Neurotrophins (NTs) belong to a family of trophic factors that regulate the survival, growth and programmed cell death of neurons. In mammals, there are four structurally and functionally related NT proteins, viz. nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived

Antinociceptive activity of the S1P-receptor agonist FTY720 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
FTY720 is a novel immunosuppressive drug that inhibits the egress of lymphocytes from secondary lymphoid tissues and thymus. In its phosphorylated form FTY720 is a potent S1P receptor agonist.

Alteration of binding properties and cytoskeletal attachment of nerve growth factor receptors in PC12 cells by wheat germ agglutinin

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1982
Incubation of PC12 cells preloaded with 125I-nerve growth factor (NGF) reveals rapidly and slowly dissociating binding components indicative of a heterogeneous population of receptors.

Genetic code expansion, click chemistry, and light-activated PI3K reveal details of membrane protein trafficking downstream of receptor tyrosine kinases

open access: yeseLife
Ligands such as insulin, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and nerve growth factor (NGF) initiate signals at the cell membrane by binding to receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs).

TGF beta type II receptor signaling controls Schwann cell death and proliferation in developing nerves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
During development, Schwann cell numbers are precisely adjusted to match the number of axons. It is essentially unknown which growth factors or receptors carry out this important control in vivo.

Neural regulation of cancer: from mechanobiology to inflammation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Despite recent progress in cancer research, the exact nature of malignant transformation and its progression is still not fully understood. Particularly metastasis, which accounts for most cancer death, is a very complex process, and new treatment ...
