the spontaneous regression of neuroblastoma to ganlioneuroma is a rare occurrence. reviewing the literature, we found no more than 12casesreported.'•2.9.,o.'4.1s we report a case of metastatic neuroblastoma of multifocal skeletal and soft tissue areas with gross deformities which regressed to ganglioneuroma, with good prognosis.

Cell division, cell death, and cell differentiation are hallmarks of embryogenesis. Such processes are supported by neurotrophins that have the capacity of regulating not only developmental processes, but also neuronal survival, morphological adaptation, and neural plasticity. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a prototype of neurotrophins capable of influencing survival and differentiation of neuron...

experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (eae), a demyelinating disease induced in the animals parallels multiple sclerosis in human in several aspects, provides a useful model to investigate multiple sclerosis. in this study, we have therefore used this model to study functions of nerve growth factor (ngf) in eae. ngf with considerable effects on neuron survival, proliferation and differentiati...

introduction: carbon nanotubes (cnts) have shown enormous potential in neuroscience. nerve growth factor (ngf)-cnts complex promotes the neuronal growth, however, the underlying mechanism(s) have remained elusive. based on the interplay between ngf and the endocannabinoid system, involvement of the neuroprotective endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-ag), was investigated in the mechanis...
