Our previous findings confirmed that the nerve growth factor-containing fibrin glue membrane provides a good microenvironment for peripheral nerve regeneration; however, the precise mechanism remains unclear. p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75(NTR)) plays an important role in the regulation of peripheral nerve regeneration. We hypothesized that a nerve growth factor-containing fibrin glue membrane ...

Details of the interdependent, trophic relation between smooth muscle and its neural innervation are not well known despite suggestions that neural influences may contribute significantly to hypertensive and other cardiovascular disease. Vascular smooth muscle is a major target of innervation by neurons of the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic neurons depend on a constant supply of the po...
