About this Research Topic
Emerging research suggests that neurotrophins and glia are involved in various neurological disorders. Dysregulation of neurotrophin signaling has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Dysfunction of glial cells, including astrocytes and microglia, has also been linked to neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative conditions. In this Research Topic, we will dig into the complex interactions between neurotrophins and enhance our understanding of neural disorders and pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies.
This Research Topic will highlight the most recent advances on the interaction between neurotrophins and glia cells both at physiological and pathological levels. It also welcomes additional contributions from the neurotrophins community that further our understanding of neurotrophins and neurotrophin-receptor-mediated actions. This Research Topic will include both full-length and short research communications, opinion and review articles that are relevant to furthering the understanding of neurotrophin actions.
Keywords: Neurotrophins, Nerve Growth factor, Brain derived neurotrophic factor, Neurotrophin-3, microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, olfactory ensheating cells, Schwann cells
