This book addresses important advances in NTF research, from basic science to clinical medicine. It focuses mainly on NGF, but also includes individual chapters dealing with the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and ligands of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family, which have attracted increasing interest in the neuroscience community because of their diverse effects in the normal and diseased brain.
In the first part of the book, the authors provide the necessary background for the following chapters and discuss the basic mechanisms and pathways of NGF signal transduction. In the following sections, they then examine the regenerative activity and neuroprotective capacity of NGF during development and in normal and diseased tissues in adulthood and discuss the role of NGF in Alzheimer's disease and nociception. In addition, the role of NGF in processing sensory information and its influence on behavior is further discussed. The book concludes with an overview of the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of NTF in psychiatric disorders and obesity management, as well as a highlight of NGF research in veterinary medicine.
Many of the authors of this volume participated in the Second International Rita Levi-Montalcini Meeting, held in Bologna, Italy, in 2019. The book covers a wide range of important topics in past and current NTF research and will appeal to basic researchers and clinicians alike.Laura Calzà has been and is PI or co-Investigator on several university-, regional, national, and international agencies-funded grants for preclinical and clinical research projects.
Luigi Aloe is a leader scientist in the NGF field, having published more than 420 articles in peer reviewed journals. His work has so far received almost 18000 citations (Scopus, 2020; H-index 2020: 70). He has been a close collaborator of Rita Levi-Montalcini for over 40 years, first at the Dept. of Biology, Washington, University, St. Louis Mo. USA, then at
For his outstanding contribution in the neurotrophins field Luigi Aloe received the Honoris Causa Degree in Biological Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy and the Honoris Causa Degree in Medical Sciences at Varna Medical School, Bulgaria.
Luciana Giardino, MD, Endocrinology Specialist, Associate Professor of Anatomy of Domestic Animals, Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences (DIMEVET), University of Bologna; Scientific Director of the Unit of Translational Medicine at CIRI Life Sciences; President of the Foundation IRET - The Eye of Knowledge on Brain ONLUS.
Author of more than 140 articles in international peer reviewed journals and more that 35 chapters in international books. Her work has so far received almost 3800 citations.
Main focus of her research activity is the study of reactive and repair mechanisms of the nervous system following experimental and spontaneous lesions, using in vivo and in vitro models, according to the bench-to-bedside and bed-to-bench side approach of the translational medicine. The lab Investigates self-repair properties of different tissues and organs based on the resident stem cells and develops the entire pipeline of the preclinical testing of new drugs, advanced therapies, biomaterials, biomedical devices also according to GLP and ISO guidelines.
