Editorial: Protein post-translational modifications in the nervous system: from development to disease and ageing.

The editorial in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience discusses protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) in the nervous system, emphasizing their role in development, disease, and aging. PTMs increase the functional diversity of proteins, contributing to the complexity of the proteome beyond the genome's coding capacity. The research topic explores PTMs in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as their impact on aging, highlighting the critical role of PTMs in nervous system and muscle function.
