Review Paper on anti-nerve growth factor monoclonal antibodies for the control of pain in dogs and cats.
The role of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in pain associated with osteoarthritis has been under investigation for the last two decades. In Dr. Enomoto’s review paper, the authors review the science behind NGF and the potential development of new pain treatments based on this novel pathway.
Published in the same journal, read the short review of the science behind the prior comprehensive article.
