Methylene blue protects dopaminergic neurons against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity by upregulating brain-derived neurotrophic factor

This study investigates the neuroprotective effects of methylene blue (MB) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) models, revealing that MB prevents dopaminergic neuron loss and mitigates dopamine depletion by upregulating brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and activating Erk signaling pathways. The results highlight that MB’s protective role is associated with BDNF activation, which
