- Abstract: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein involved in the survival, growth and maintenance of neurons, plays an important role in pathophysiological processes in various neuropsychiatric diseases. In recent years, attention has been widely paid to the roles of BDNF in regulating immunity and participating in inflammatory reactions in non-nervous systems, and more and more studies have shown that BDNF plays an important role in various skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, connective tissue diseases and skin tumors. This review summarizes research advances in the role of BDNF in relevant skin diseases.
