Abstract

This review provides an overview of nerve growth factor and its involvement in the immune system. Furthermore, recent data are provided revealing new important insights into the mechanisms of action of nerve growth factor in allergic reaction. Recent studies on the effects of nerve growth factor on the immune cells involved allergic reaction, and on the potential role of nerve growth factor in tissue remodelling are presented. Nerve growth factor has an extended function from the nervous system to a wide range of activities in the immune system. Several papers have highlighted the role of the factor in allergic inflammation. This review describes old and new concepts of nerve growth factor in the immune system: the relation between nerve growth factor and the main cells taking part in allergic inflammatory disorders, structural cells, mediators and cytokines/chemokines, as well as the mechanisms leading to nerve growth factor increase. Understanding these complex mechanisms will introduce new therapeutic approaches for nerve growth factor in the immune system, in addition to those already established in the nervous system.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
