Neuroprotection Modulators

Meaning

Neuroprotection Modulators are a class of therapeutic agents, including specific peptides, hormones, and compounds, that function to actively preserve the structure and functional integrity of neurons, thereby mitigating cellular damage and death within the central and peripheral nervous systems. These modulators are clinically employed to enhance neuronal survival, maintain synaptic connectivity, and counteract the pathological progression of neurodegenerative processes or acute neurological injury. Hormones and endogenous neuropeptides are examples of powerful, naturally occurring modulators.
