Introduction:
Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of disorders that characterized by the progressive loss of neurons and their associated synapses. These disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, are the leading causes of debility and quality of life in humans. The development of new therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases remains a major focus of research and is an attractive field for the development of new treatments.

TSPAN13: A Key Member of the Transmembrane 4 Superfamily
TSPAN13 is a protein that belongs to the Transmembrane 4 Superfamily. This family of proteins includes various signaling molecules that play important roles in intracellular signaling.
