Neurological Diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of neurological disorders characterized by the atrophy and irreversible damage of neurons. Among these, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative conditions. Neurotrophic factors (NTFs) play a crucial role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of nerve cells. Particularly after neural damage, such as stroke or brain injury, NTFs can enhance the survival and regenerative capacity of nerve cells. As a result, neurotrophic factors (NTFs) are widely used in studies involving nerve cell culture and differentiation. Additionally, NTFs represent the first class of factors investigated for the treatment of central nervous system disorders.
