Neuroprotektion und Aktivierung von Neurotrophin-Signaltransduktionswegen durch Hemmung von Protein-Tyrosin-Phosphatasen und durch NO-Donatoren [PDF]
Trotz des enormen Fortschrittes der Medizin und neuen Erkenntnissen über die pathologischen Mechanismen des neuronalen Zelltodes steht bislang keine wirkungsvolle, kausale Therapie zur Behandlung neurodegenerativer Erkrankungen zur ...

Characterization of TRKA signaling in acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Tropomyosin-related kinase A (TRKA) translocations have oncogenic potential and have been found in rare cases of solid tumors. Accumulating evidence indicates that TRKA and its ligand, nerve growth factor (NGF), may play a role in normal hematopoiesis and may be deregulated in leukemogenesis. Here, we report a comprehensive evaluation of TRKA signaling

Hypoxia‐induced vulnerability of the somatosensory nervous system
Abstract figure legend Sensory neurons are highly energy dependent and rely on sufficient oxygen availability to maintain metabolic stability and effective neurocommunication. Within the somatosensory system, even modest reductions in tissue oxygen tension impair neuronal respiration, forcing a shift toward less efficient metabolic pathways that ...

Nerve growth factor is expressed by postmitotic avian retinal horizontal cells and supports their survival during development in an autocrine mode of action. [PDF]
Cell death in the developing retina is regulated, but so far little is known about what factors regulate the cell death. Several neurotrophic factors and receptors, including the neurotrophins and Trk receptors, are expressed during the critical time. We

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.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors are increasingly implicated in cancer progression, but their expression in cervical cancer is unclear. The objective of this study was to define the protein expression of NGF, its precursor (proNGF), as well as

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.

Expression of NGF, Trka and p75 in human cartilage
Nerve growth factor (NGF) exerts its action through two types of receptor: high-affinity tyrosine kinase A receptor (trkA) and low-affinity p75 receptor. NGF has a neurotrophic role in central and peripheral nervous system development, but there is also clear evidence of its involvement in the developing skeleton.

The oncogenic neurotrophin receptor tropomyosin-related kinase variant, TrkAIII
Oncogenes derived from the neurotrophin receptor tropomyosin-related kinase TrkA act as drivers in sub-populations of a wide-range of human cancers. This, combined with a recent report that both adult and childhood cancers driven by novel oncogenic TrkA ...

A Spaetzle-like role for nerve growth factor beta in vertebrate immunity to Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Many key components of innate immunity to infection are shared between Drosophila and humans. However, the fly Toll ligand Spaetzle is not thought to have a vertebrate equivalent.
