Why it matters
Understanding PTN's dual role could inform insights into neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis, and how it may impact disease progression or recovery.
What this does not prove
This review does not establish direct clinical outcomes for multiple sclerosis nor is it based on original clinical data.
