TrkA regulates the regenerative capacity of bone marrow stromal stem cells in nerve grafts
Neural Regeneration Research, 2019 We previously demonstrated that overexpression of tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) promotes the survival and Schwann cell-like differentiation of bone marrow stromal stem cells in nerve grafts, thereby enhancing the regeneration and functional ...

ProNGF and Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s Disease
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Profound and early basal forebrain cholinergic neuron (BFCN) degeneration is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Loss of synapses between basal forebrain and hippocampal and cortical target tissue correlates highly with the degree of dementia and is ...

TrkA activation in the rat visual cortex by antirat trkA IgG prevents the effect of monocular deprivation [PDF]
European Journal of Neuroscience, 1999 AbstractIt has been recently shown that intraventricular injections of nerve growth factor (NGF) prevent the effects of monocular deprivation in the rat. We have tested the localization and the molecular nature of the NGF receptor(s) responsible for this effect by activating cortical trkA receptors in monocularly deprived rats by cortical infusion of a

Deletion of Tsc2 in nociceptors reduces target innervation, ion channel expression, and sensitivity to heat [PDF]
, 2018 The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is known to regulate cellular growth pathways, and its genetic activation is sufficient to enhance regenerative axon growth following injury to the central or peripheral nervous systems.

Association of NGF receptors with membrane rafts in PC12 cells : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]
, 2001 Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) signal transduction is involved in the survival, differentiation and maintenance of neurons through the receptors TrkA and p75NTR. These receptors activate downstream protein kinase cascades that regulate cell survival.
