✦ Synopsis

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a well characterized molecule required for the survival and differentiation of a variety of cell types both in the peripheral and central nervous system. Numerous studies published in recent years have demonstrated that NGF affects different functional activities of mature immune and hematopoietic cells. Other studies have revealed that hematopoietic progenitor cells from bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood are receptive to the action of NGF and that bone marrow stromal cells produce/respond to NGF during different steps of normal hematopoiesis. Elevated levels of NGF have been found in a number of inflammatory diseases, including those of autoimmune nature and in myeloproliferative pathologies. This review presents these data and discusses the hypothesis of a possible functional role of NGF in immune and hematopoietic disorders.

Neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells is achieved by stimulation with nerve growth factor (NGF) but not by epidermal growth factor (EGF). However, features of differentiation such as neurite outgrowth are observable at the earliest after several hours. Using actin staining of the cells, we show her

The mechanism(s) underlying nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated rescue of neurons from apoptosis is poorly understood, although it is well established that the high-affinity NGF receptor (TrkA) plays a pivotal role in mediating NGF effects.

Ecdysteroids, or molting hormones, have been proven to be key differentiation regulators for epidermal cells in the postembryonic development of arthropods. Regulators of cell proliferation, however, remain largely unknown. To date, no diffusible insect peptidic growth factors have been characterize
