Does nerve growth factor promote corneal epithelial migration by enhancing expression of matrix metalloprotease-9?
NGF plays a major role during the epithelial healing process by promoting migration, a process that is accelerated by cell spreading. This effect is mediated by both the upregulation of MMP-9 and cleavage of β4 integrin.
This study demonstrates no factual support for existence of a transmantle pressure gradient in nonacute communicating or noncommunicating hydrocephalus.
