Our novel approach to addressing chronic and acute neurodegeneration offers new hope in the fight against the largest unmet need of an aging population

The idea that sticky brain plaques cause Alzheimer’s disease began as an interesting hypothesis and eventually became drug industry dogma. Now, after a string of clinical trial failures, that hypothesis looks less credible than ever.

Amyloid Plaque and Aβ is NOT The Only Answer

After amyloid failures, it’s time to take a new tack for treating Alzheimer’s

Neurotoxic proteins reduce axonal transport and cause a 
TOXIC CASCADE 

Impaired axonal transport lowers levels of neurotransmitters and neurotrophic proteins leading to nerve cell death.

We Are Working to
REVERSE

the Toxic Cascade

Plaques, tangles, and Lewy bodies represent the end stage of neurodegeneration. The disease STARTS with impaired axonal transport caused by high-levels of neurotoxic proteins.
