Exploring the therapeutic applications of neurotrophic factors, this work describes clinical trials currently underway in disorders such as amytrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of neuropathies.
Degeneration of sensory receptors or of the nerves innervating them leads to a sensory deficit. Various strategies have been tried for promoting regrowth of sensory receptors, particularly in the eye and ear. The latest data from experimental studies in animals are presented in the book including applications of BDNF and CNTF in the eye and epidermal growth factor in the ear.
