NGF and cancer: Recent evidence in cancer neuroscience have revealed a specialized "neural niche" a microanatomical and functional domain enriched in neural inputs and neuromodulatory signals orchestrated through bidirectional communication between tumor, nervus system and immune cellsCancer cells secrete neurotrophic factors such as nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to attract and remodel peripheral innervation.
