Controlled release of nerve growth factor from heparin-conjugated fibrin gel within the nerve growth factor-delivering implant
OBJECTIVES Although nerve growth factor (NGF) could promote the functional regeneration of an injured peripheral nerve, it is very difficult for NGF to sustain the therapeutic dose in the defect due to its short half-life. In this study, we loaded the NGF-bound heparin-conjugated fibrin (HCF) gel in the NGF-delivering implants and analyzed the time-dependent release of NGF and its bioactivity t...
متن کاملNerve growth factor in human semen: Effect of nerve growth factor on the normozoospermic men during cryopreservation process
Objective(s):Althoughroutinely applied in assisted reproductive technology, human sperm cryopreservation is not a completely successful procedure. Adverse effects of cryopreservation on the fertilization capacity, motility, morphology, and viability of spermatozoa have been proven; cryopreservation has also shown a role in sperm DNA fragmentation and infertility. The post-thaw survival of sperm...
متن کاملEffects of Nerve Growth Factor, Insulin- Like Growth Factor-I and Collagen Gel on Peripheral Nerve Channel: Sensory, Functional and Regeneration Through Piezoelectric Electrophysiologicalal Study
Purpose: The limited availability of donor sites for nerve grafts continues to stimulate research toward finding suitable alternatives. Material and Methods: In the following study, the effects of direct administration of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), Insulin - Like Growth Factor - I (IGF-I) , or / and collagen gel into Polyvinylidene Fluride (PVDF) gap was tested in a rat sciatic nerve model. A ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Periodontal Disease Effect on the Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor in Dental Pulp
Introduction: Researchers have always been interested in the close and mutual relationship between the pulp and periodontal tissues. Although the effects of pulpal disease on periodontium have been well known, the clear relationship between periodontitis and pulp has not been documented . It seems that bacteria and inflammatory products of periodontitis can affect pulp through accessory canals,...
متن کاملNerve Growth Factor
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a signaling protein [4] and growth factor implicated in a wide range of development and maintenance functions. NGF was discovered through a series of experiments in the 1950s on the development of the chick [5] nervous system. Since its discovery, NGF has been found to act in a variety of tissues throughout development and adulthood. It has been implicated in immune...
