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 ...

The researchers concluded that NRP1 is a co-receptor for nerve growth factor, as - unlike TrkA - NRP1 is not known to signal on its own. "Our findings suggest that neuropilin-1 is required for nerve ...

Using genetic engineering techniques, investigators designed a novel type of cell to recognize and fight cancer. Using genetic engineering techniques, investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer ...

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 ...
