For now, Dauber and his research team are exploring how to use PAPPA2 to increase IGF-1 in circulation among people with height disorders in the hopes of improving their growth. "The population of ...

Coapplication of IGF-1 with LPS further increased BBB permeability as indicated by the increase in intensity of the fluorescence in the brain parenchyma. No change of BBB integrity was found in ...

Therapies under development to treat prostate cancer by inhibiting the ability of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) to activate its target receptor could have unexpected results especially if a ...

The next challenge, thus, will be to pinpoint IGF-1 levels that are cardioprotective but do not increase cancer hazards. "A potential approach to increase IGF-1 levels that may merit further ...

Levels of the hormone increase with disease severity, a new study has found. Plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) could give clinicians a better understanding of whether a patient ...

Recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 treatment was well tolerated and resulted in dose-dependent annualized height velocities in children with primary IGF-1 deficiency, according to data ...

But the hormones also increase cancer and other diseases that limit lifespan. The researchers developed a strain of dwarf rats that were naturally deficient in both growth hormone and in IGF-1.
