Leprosy patients: neurotrophic factors and axonal markers in skin lesions

Leprosy patients: neurotrophic factors and axonal markers in skin lesions

Neurotrophins are growth factors with crucial roles in neural pathophysiology. These mediators functionally modulate nociceptive fibers, and changes in neurotrophins expression have been correlated with early loss of nociception in leprosy. This study investigated the expression of NGF, BDNF, and NT...
