Warrantee of use applies to the website owners and/or their representative, including the content displayed in the website, as subject to the conditions of use. 
 
How does accessibility work on the website?

The website has an accessibility menu. Clicking on the menu opens accessibility buttons. After choosing a subject in the menu, waiting time is necessary for the page to upload. 

What is in the menu?

 

✓ Ability to navigate with the keyboard
✓ Increasing and decreasing the website fonts
✓ Changing color contrast based on dark backgrounds
✓ Changing color contrast based on light backgrounds
✓ Adapting the website to color blind people
✓ Underlining links throughout the website

 

Clarification

Despite our efforts to enable website browsing for all the website pages, there may be website pages that haven't been made accessible yet or may lack a suitable technical solution.
We are continuing our efforts to enhance the accessibility of the website as much as possible, out of our moral obligation to enable the use of the website for the population as a whole, including people with disabilities.

      Alomone Labs PACA potentiates NGF-induced neurite formation in PC12 cells.
      Effect of 20 µM PACA (#P-340) on 2 ng/ml Native mouse NGF 2.5S protein (99%) (#N-240)-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Cells were grown on collagen-coated plates in absence (control, top-left) or in presence of 20 µM PACA (top right), 2 ng/ml NGF (bottom left) or a combination of both (bottom right). Neurite development was visualized after 8 days by Methylene Blue staining.
    Scientific background

    N-propargyl caffeate amide (PACA) enhances nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neurite outgrowth, it was also shown to attenuate 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) neurotoxicity in PC12 cells and primary rat midbrain neurons.

    PACA interacts with kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and these conjugates induce the nuclear translocation of transcription factor Nrf2 and the expression of antioxidant heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), hence PACA exhibits neuroprotective and neuritogenic activities via the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant pathway1.

    NGF belongs to a protein family called Neurotrophins, members of this family can regulate adult nervous system plasticity by promoting neuronal survival and stimulating nerve regrowth following injury. Insufficient production of neurotrophic factors is implicated in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders and hence these factors have the potential to be used as therapeutic agents2.

    Nerve growth factor (NGF) regulates the microtubule-dependent extension and maintenance of axons by peripheral neurons. It also promotes microtubule assembly during neurite outgrowth3. NGF participates in the viability, development and preservation of neurons in mammalian nervous systems4,5. In addition to neuronal cells, NGF expression has been found in several types of glial cells, including olfactory cells, microglial cells, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes6. Recent studies have shown that NGF leads to neuronal apoptosis in aging, and neurodegenerative distress, and it was also shown to have a role in Alzheimer's disease7.
