Chronic Pain: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Clinical Management
The multidimensional nature of chronic pain is illustrated through four interconnected domains. (Left) Epidemiology and Global Burden: Chronic pain affects approximately one in five individuals globally, contributing to a rising trend in disability‐adjusted life years (YLDs) and a significant socioeconomic impact.

NEAP/DUSP26 suppresses receptor tyrosine kinases and regulates neuronal development in zebrafish
Expression of neuroendocrine-associated phosphatase (NEAP, also named as dual specificity phosphatase 26, [DUSP26]) is restricted to neuroendocrine tissues. We found that NEAP, but not its phosphatase-defective mutant, suppressed nerve growth factor (NGF)

Increased expression and activity of p75NTR are crucial events in azacitidine-induced cell death in prostate cancer [PDF]
The high affinity nerve growth factor (NGF) NGF receptor, p75NTR, is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily that shares a conserved intracellular death domain capable of inducing apoptosis and suppressing growth in prostate ...

This study investigates four Chinese families with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA). Through next‐generation sequencing, we identified seven NTRK1 variants, including two novel mutations. Functional characterization of five identified missense and indel variants revealed distinct disruptions in the NGF‐TrkA pathway, ranging from ...

Neuropilin-1 inhibition suppresses nerve growth factor signaling and nociception in pain models
Nerve growth factor (NGF) monoclonal antibodies inhibit chronic pain, yet failed to gain approval due to worsened joint damage in osteoarthritis patients.

Positional and functional mapping of a neuroblastoma differentiation gene on chromosome 11 [PDF]
Background: Loss of chromosome 11q defines a subset of high-stage aggressive neuroblastomas. Deletions are typically large and mapping efforts have thus far not lead to a well defined consensus region, which hampers the identification of positional ...

Engineered GM1 Intersects Between Mitochondrial and Synaptic Pathways to Ameliorate ALS Pathology
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease driven by genetic and molecular disruptions affecting energy balance, protein homeostasis, and stress responses in nerve cells. Studies using human and rodent models identified convergent defects in mitochondria and synaptic function.

Expression of NGF, BDNF and their receptors in subcutaneous adipose tissue of lactating cows [PDF]
Currently, there are no reports of neurotrophins in adipose tissue of cows. The distribution of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and their high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors TrkA and TrkB, was investigated by ...

NGF - the TrkA to successful pain treatment.
Chronic pain arising from various pathological conditions such as osteoarthritis, low back or spinal injuries, cancer, and urological chronic pelvic pain syndromes presents significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Specifically, since the underlying cause of these pain syndromes is unknown or heterogeneous, physicians diagnose and treat ...

Molecular networks in FGF signaling: Flotillin-1 and Cbl-associated protein compete for the binding to fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2 [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2 (FRS2α) is a signaling adaptor protein that regulates downstream signaling of many receptor tyrosine kinases.
