The Saga of the Nerve Growth Factor

Preliminary Studies, Discovery, Further Development

By: Rita Levi-Montalcini

This volume is a collection of articles written by Nobel Laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini and published from 1942 to 1995. Studies described in the first part set the stage for the discovery of a protein molecule which became known as the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), described in detail in the second part. The NGF synthesized in minute amounts in all vertebrate tissues, plays an essential role in the differentiation and survival of several nerve cell populations in the peripheral and central nervous system. The discovery of the NGF was defined by the Nobel Foundation as a milestone in developmental neurobiology, and the author was awarded in 1986 with this prestigious award. Studies pursued in subsequent years and still in progress, have unveiled other fundamental properties of the NGF, described in the third part of this volume.

Even as a child, Lucas’ mindset and behaviour is disturbing, and Joey finds his brother unnerving and fears him. When an evil turn of events transpires, their father sends Lucas away to live with his uncle, in the hope that in time he can rid himself of the sinister mentality that has invaded his mind. As time passes and the brothers become teenagers, they remain at odds with each other, Joey still mindful of his brother’s heinous capabilities. But when a local girl is found savagely murdered on their property, the brothers discover that they have become embroiled in a web of deception that forces them to form a pact. What dark family secrets do the brothers harbour that has drawn them together? Will Lucas and Joey be able to free themselves from the nefarious paths their lives have taken? Will they ever be able to find peace and the semblance of a normal family life?
