A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Researchers have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according to a new study. The findings hold ...

First discovered in the 1950s, NGF is now known to direct the growth, maintenance, proliferation and preservation of neurons ...

In a recent study published in Science Immunology, a group of researchers investigated how sensory nerve sprouting and mast cell activity, driven by nerve growth factor (NGF), contribute to persistent ...

Nerve growth factor receptor TrkA (in green) and co-receptor NRP1 (in purple) are coexpressed in the same nerve cells in mice. Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for ...
