Objective
With the ageing of the population, neurodegenerative diseases will be a huge societal, health and economic problem. There are no effective solutions that can stop the progression of these devastating diseases. At BrainEver we are developing a groundbreaking platform to treat neurodegenerative diseases based on a family of transcription factors called Homeoproteins (HPs). Homeoproteins are endogenous proteins expressed in diverse neuronal types, where they regulate age-dependent mechanisms related to neurodegeneration. When homeoproteins are injected into the central nervous system of animals with disease, neuronal survival and function is restored, halting degeneration. This suggests a huge potential as therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. In this project, we aim to develop and clinically validate a revolutionary therapy using the homeoprotein Engrailed-1, to treat patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinsons Disease (PD).
