Abstract:
Leukemia inhibitory factor(LIF) is a multifunctional cytokine.In recent years,investigations have made some advancement in the effect of LIF on central nervous system.LIF shows a high expression in various central nervous system diseases and related animal models,which shows a neuroprotective effect most time in central nervous system injuries.LIF is defined as a neurotrophic factor.It might provide a new strategy for the therapy of central nervous system diseases to undertake further studies on leukemia inhibitory factor and central nervous system diseases.
