“…MANF is involved in multiple neurodevelopment processes, including neurogenesis (Wang et al, 2022), neurite outgrowth (Tseng, Danilova, et al, 2017;Wen et al, 2020), and neuron migration (Tseng, Anttila, et al, 2017). Increasing evidence suggest that MANF not only regulates normal neurodevelopment and survival (Chen et al, 2012;Palgi et al, 2009) but also protects neurons from pathological conditions such as brain ischemia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury, and retinal degeneration (Airavaara et al, 2010;Apostolou et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2012;Gao et al, 2017;Ko et al, 2020;Lu et al, 2018;Neves et al, 2016;Palgi et al, 2009;Petrova et al, 2003;Voutilainen et al, 2009).…”
