Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) promotes survival and proliferation of neural stem cells and reduces amyloid-β-induced toxicity

Banfi Dana , Gesmundo Iacopo , Ghigo Ezio , Schally Andrew V , Granata Riccarda

Neurogenesis, a process by which new neurons are generated from precursors, still persists in discrete regions of the adult hippocampus. Impairment in neurogenesis is an important feature in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such asAlzheimer’s disease (AD). The hippocampus is critical for learning and memory and is a main target of AD, which causes massive neuronal death, reduction in neurogenesis and impairment in cognitive functions. Therefore, preventing...

Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) promotes survival and proliferation of neural stem cells and reduces amyloid-β-induced toxicity

Banfi Dana , Gesmundo Iacopo , Guglielmotto Michela , Tamagno Elena , Ghigo Ezio , Schally Andrew V. , Granata Riccarda

Neurogenesis, a process by which new neurons are generated from precursors, still persists in discrete regions of the adult hippocampus. The hippocampus is critical for learning and memory and is a main target of AD, which causes massive neuronal death, reduction in neurogenesis and impairment in cognitive functions. Therefore, preventing neuronal loss or increasing the production of new neurons may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to reduce AD-induced cognitive decl...
