This dissertation also describes an attempt to use genetically encoded FRET-biosensors to understand signaling pathways downstream ofTrkA altered by CSPGs. Due to a number of technological challenges, we limited our assessment to Protein Kinase A (PKA) and Protein Kinase C (PKC) sensors in primary sympathetic neurons but we did not observe any significant responses to CSPGs. 000009690 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009690 650__ $$aHeart Failure$$019939 000009690 650__ $$aNeuronal Outgrowth$$011790 000009690 650__ $$aExtracellular Matrix$$018796 000009690 650__ $$aNerve Regeneration$$022803 000009690 650__ $$aMyocardial Infarction$$022601 000009690 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009690 692__ $$aDepartment of Physiology and Pharmacology$$041442 000009690 7001_ $$aBlake, Matthew R. 000009690 8564_ $$9d5abe394-3c66-45f4-bde6-c308ecb75ec1$$s22304282$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9690/files/Blake.Matthew.2022.pdf 000009690 905__ $$a/rest/prod/54/25/kb/45/5425kb45p 000009690 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9690$$pstudent-work 000009690 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
