Abstract:Agrin-NP/NHC treatment in vivo promotes neuromuscular junction reinnervation and improves functional recovery of forelimb grip strength. Our group has previously established the benefits of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) nanoparticles on ameliorating the effects of chronic denervation. Future studies will combine Agrin-NPs and IGF-1-NPs and evaluate their hypothesized synergistic benefits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
