Magnetothermal Modulation of Nerve Growth
… structures that are a critical target for nerve therapy. Calcium influx into neurons plays a key role in many processes necessary for axonal regeneratiton. Using magnetothermal modulation, we stimulate calcium uptake into DRG cells via TRPV1 ion channels, which are endogenously expressed …

Opto-mechanical control of nerve growth
… of promoting regenerative ability of peripheral nerves. Among those neurotrophic factors, topography, and electrical stimulation have been proposed to enhance nerve growth. This thesis explores optogenetic neural stimulation as a means to control neurite growth that promises greater cell-type …

Localization of nerve growth factor-β in the stallion reproductive tract
Nerve growth factor-β (NGF-β) is a protein produced in the reproductive tract of camelids (camels, llamas, and alpacas) that has been identified as the ovulation inducing factor in seminal plasma. NGF-β from seminal plasma deposited into the reproductive tract of the female camelid acts …

Nerve growth factor regulates Na+ transport in human airway epithelial cells
Nerve growth factor (NGF) was discovered for its ability to enhance nerve growth, but recent evidence suggests there is a correlation between elevated NGF levels in the lung and airway diseases, including lung inflammatory diseases and respiratory virus infections. NGF can be produced and act upon …

The Immunoexpression of Nerve Growth Factor and Substance P in human Symapthetic Ganglia
… purpose of this study is to immunoexpression of nerve growth factor and substance P in human paravertebral sympathetic ganglia and to analyze correlation between nerve growth factor, substance P, and positive discogram. Forty-three sympathetic ganglias obtained during anterior interbody fusion of …

Effects of nerve growth factor on TGF-Beta,Smad signal transduction in PC12 cells
Transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) is a multifunctional cytokine that is engaged in regulating versatile cellular processes that are pivotal for development and homeostasis of most tissues in multicellular organisms. TGF-ß signal transduction is initially propagated by binding of TGF-ß to …

Determining the role of nerve growth factor-beta in seminal plasma on bovine reproduction
Nerve growth factor-β (NGF) is a protein found in the seminal plasma of a variety of mammalian species. While initially known for regulating neuronal survival and differentiation, it was later discovered to interact within the endocrine and reproductive systems as well. Most notable is its function …

The role of nerve growth factor and p75 neurotrophin receptor in recovery from liver fibrosis
Rodent hepatic myofibroblasts are susceptible to nerve growth factor-mediated apoptosis through p75 neurotrophin receptor ligation. Hepatic myofibroblast apoptosis is critical to resolution of liver fibrosis. I show that human hepatic myofibroblasts exhibit differential responses to mature and …

Effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha on nitric oxide synthase in nerve growth factor-responding cells
… (AD) patients accompanied by a decrease in nerve growth factor (NGF)-responsive cholinergic neurons. I report a synergistic effect of the cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) and NGF on expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. NGF/TNFa-promoted …

Determining the Effects of Nerve Growth Factor Supplemented In-vitro Fertilization Media on Bovine Embryo Development
… and quality, leading to lower pregnancy rates. Nerve growth factor-beta (NGF), however, has been previously shown to improve 48-hour cleavage rates and the number of hatching/ hatched blastocysts out of total presumptive zygotes. We hypothesize that NGF will improve IVP embryo development by …

Interactions of Thyroid Hormones, Nerve Growth Factor and Its Receptors in Development and Plasticity of the Rat Olfactory Bulb
… compensatory resumption of olfactory bulb tissue growth. Our findings present strong evidence for exceptional growth plasticity in the rat olfactory system, lasting beyond the normal development period. This plasticity may be mediated, in part, by regulatory and compensatory changes in the …

Interactions of Thyroid Hormones and Nerve Growth Factor in Normal Development of the Rat Hippocampus and Basal Forebrain and in Recovery From Early Hypothyroid Retardation
We propose that decreased neural growth in hypothyroid animals and the robust rate of recovery is mediated by interactions of thyroid hormones with neurotrophins. We have found that hypothyroidism results in decreased hippocampal NGF levels, while up-regulating its receptors: the p75 neurotrophin …

Chronic Stress Promotes Tumor Growth Through Increased Bdnf Production and Neo-Innervation
… of adrenergic signaling, which promotes tumor growth and progression. However it is unknown how catecholamine levels within the tumor exceed systemic levels in circulation. I hypothesized that neo-innervation of tumors is required for stress-mediated effects on tumor growth.</p> …

Neurone von Ratten mit experimenteller Axotomie oder „chronic constriction injury“ des N. ischiadicus wurden mit entsprechenden Neuronen …
