While current research on combination therapies predominantly focuses on downstream therapeutic biomarkerssuch as pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-, IL-1, IL-6), oxidative stress markers (e.g., MDA, SOD), and mucosal healing indicators (e.g., MUC-2, tight junction proteins)investigations into upstream signaling pathways (e.g., Notch, MAPK/ERK) remain preliminary
Moreover, HGF cooperates with nerve growth factor (NGF) in vitro to enhance the axonal growth of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons (Maina et al., 1997) and sympathetic neurons (Maina et al., 1998)
