How do you harvest NGF from developing brains? Whose developing brain?

Applications of molecular biology and genetics in endocrinology.

Molecular biology already has an important impact on therapy in endocrine disorders. A broad spectrum of recombinant peptides and proteins are used in daily practice, eg, insulin and insulin analogues.

They use E. coli to make insulin. It's called Humulin. In theory, it may be possible to repeat that trick with NGF.
