The Dichotomic Role of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Neurodegeneration

The Dichotomic Role of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Neurodegeneration

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine expressed by different cell types and exerting multiple biological functions. It has been shown that MIF may be involved in several disorders, including neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Par...
