Neurotrophic Factor Therapy

Meaning

Neurotrophic Factor Therapy is a cutting-edge clinical approach involving the administration or endogenous upregulation of specific protein growth factors to support the survival, differentiation, and maintenance of neurons and glial cells. These factors, such as Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), are crucial for neuroplasticity and repair processes. The therapy is strategically designed to counteract neurodegenerative processes, enhance cognitive function, and promote recovery from neurological injury or chronic stress. It represents a direct molecular intervention to restore the structural and functional integrity of the nervous system.
