- Summary:
- Nerve growth factor (NGF) has a role in the development of sensory and autonomic neurons, and also in the processes of nociception. This book examines evidence of the involvement of NGF in painful diseases and suggests the potential usefulness of anti-NGF strategies as novel analgesics for these disabling pathological conditions.
