Abstract
Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a multifunctional glycoprotein regulating intercellular interactions in various biological and pathological processes. This review summarizes the effects and mechanisms of MFG-E8 in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), emphasizing its roles in inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. In this review, will also explore the potential of MFG-E8 as a diagnostic biomarker and its therapeutic applications in neurodegenerative disorders. Recent studies have revealed intriguing characteristics of using MFG-E8 as a potential drug for treating various brain disorders. While the discovery, origin, expression, and physiological functions of MFG-E8 in various organs and tissues are well defined, its role in the brain remains less understood. This is particularly true for NDDs, indicating unmet medical needs. Elucidating its role in the brain could position MFG-E8 as a potential treatment for NDDs.
期刊介绍：
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition serves as an authoritative outlet for critical perspectives on contemporary technology, food science, and human nutrition.
With a specific focus on issues of national significance, particularly for food scientists, nutritionists, and health professionals, the journal delves into nutrition, functional foods, food safety, and food science and technology. Research areas span diverse topics such as diet and disease, antioxidants, allergenicity, microbiological concerns, flavor chemistry, nutrient roles and bioavailability, pesticides, toxic chemicals and regulation, risk assessment, food safety, and emerging food products, ingredients, and technologies.
