Neurotrophic factors are a group of proteins that play a crucial role in the growth, survival, and differentiation of neurons in the nervous system. They serve as essential signaling molecules that not only support the development of the nervous system during embryonic stages but also maintain neuronal health throughout an individual’s life. These factors are vital for neuroplasticity, ...
Tau protein is a microtubule-associated protein, mainly present in nerve cells, and participates in the stabilization of microtubules. In certain neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Tau protein may undergo abnormal phosphorylation and aggregation, forming so-called Tau tangles or neurofibrillary tangles.Ubiquitination is a kind of post-translational modification of ...
