Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is regulated via MyD88/NF-κB signaling in experimental Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis

Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis is an intractable disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophic family and found to participate in the immune inflammatory response. In this study, we investigated if activation of th...
