ABSTRACT Sensory neuron disorders, such as peripheral neuropathies and trigeminal neuralgia, cause chronic pain and sensory dysfunction; however, regenerative treatments are limited. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide a powerful platform to model these diseases by generating functional sensory neuron subtypes, including nociceptors and ...

The transcription factor Brn3a, product of the pou4f1 gene, is expressed in most sensory neurons throughout embryogenesis. Prior work has demonstrated a role for Brn3a in the repression of early neurogenic genes; here we describe a second major role for ...

Structural basis for extracellular cis and trans RPTPσ signal competition in synaptogenesis [PDF]
Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (RPTPσ) regulates neuronal extension and acts as a presynaptic nexus for multiple protein and proteoglycan interactions during synaptogenesis.

Analysis of the Expression of Neurotrophins and Their Receptors in Adult Zebrafish Kidney
Neurotrophins and their receptors are involved in the development and maintenance of neuronal populations. Different reports have shown that all neurotrophin/receptor pathways can also play a role in several non-neuronal tissues in vertebrates, including

Expression and regulation of neurotrophic and angiogenic factors during human intervertebral disc degeneration [PDF]
Introduction : The degenerate intervertebral disc (IVD) becomes innervated by sensory nerve fibres, and vascularised by blood vessels. This study aimed to identify neurotrophins, neuropeptides and angiogenic factors within native IVD tissue and to ...

Roles of TrkC Signaling in the Regulation of Tumorigenicity and Metastasis of Cancer
Tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) C contributes to the clinicopathology of a variety of human cancers, and new chimeric oncoproteins containing the tyrosine kinase domain of TrkC occur after fusion to the partner genes.

Early specification of sensory neuron fate revealed by expression and function of neurogenins in the chick embryo [PDF]
The generation of sensory and autonomic neurons from the neural crest requires the functions of two classes of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, the Neurogenins (NGNs) and MASH-1, respectively (Fode, C., Gradwohl, G., Morin, X ...

Microarray Analysis Reveals Increased Transcriptional Repression and Reduced Metabolic Activity but Not Major Changes in the Core Apoptotic Machinery during Maturation of Sympathetic Neurons [PDF]
Postnatal maturation of the neurons whose main phenotype and basic synaptic contacts are already established includes neuronal growth, refinement of synaptic contacts, final steps of differentiation, programmed cell death period (PCD) etc.
