Neuroprotective Factor Mimicry

Meaning

Neuroprotective Factor Mimicry is a therapeutic strategy involving the use of compounds designed to replicate the beneficial actions of endogenous neuroprotective factors, such as specific hormones or growth factors, that naturally shield neurons from damage and promote survival. This mimicry aims to confer enhanced resilience against excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammatory insults, which are major drivers of neurodegenerative processes. It represents a sophisticated approach to maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the central nervous system. This strategy is vital for cognitive health preservation.
