Investigating the role of SARM1 in central nervous system.

Sterile-α and Toll/interleukin 1 receptor (TIR) motif-containing protein 1 (SARM1), a key intracellular molecule that plays numerous important biological functions in the nervous system, has attracted much attention. Recent studies have shown that SARM1 plays a key role in nerve injury, degeneration, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, understanding the role of SARM1 in the central nervous system (CNS) will enhance our knowledge of the pathogenesis of CNS diseases and aid in the development of new therapeutic strategies. This review will explore the biological functions of SARM1 in the nervous system and its potential roles in nerve injury and disease, thus providing new directions for future research and treatment.
