Neurotrophic Factor Enhancement

Meaning

The clinical strategy focused on increasing the endogenous production and activity of neurotrophic factors, which are specialized proteins that support the survival, differentiation, and growth of neurons. Key examples include Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which are vital for synaptic plasticity, memory formation, and protection against neurodegeneration. Enhancement of these factors is a critical goal in promoting cognitive longevity and repairing neural damage.
