## Background: Neurotrophins mediate their effects by binding to members of the trk family of receptor tyrosine kinases and to the low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor p75. nerve growth factor (ngf) has been demonstrated to support survival and differentiation of neuroblastoma (nb) cells by ac

Nerve growth factor (NGF) initiates its biological effects by promoting the dimerization and activation of the tyrosine kinase receptor TrkA. The requirements for NGF signaling through the TrkA receptor have been defined extensively from studies in immortalized cells, involving transfection of NIH 3
Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been demonstrated to support survival and differentiation of neuronal cells. Recently, a role of NGF in neuronal apoptosis has been suggested. NGF binds to tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) and to 75-kDa NGF receptor (p75 NTR ). TrkA is responsible for differentiatio
Growth factors may play an important role in tumour growth and angiogenesis by their influence on tumour cell proliferation or their effect on neovascularization. The aim of the present study was to determine which of the growth factors, growth-inhibiting factors, and their receptors investigated in
Background. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a specific endothelial cell mitogen that stimulates angiogenesis and plays a crucial role in tumor growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of VEGF and of its two high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors (KDR and Flt-
