Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that promote the survival, differentiation, and growth of neurons. In response to nervous system injury, neurotrophins can increase the regrowth of damaged axons, promoting the recovery of neuronal function. They do not cause neuronal death, reduce inflammation, or promote apoptosis.
