Therapeutic Candidate or Device NRTX-1001 is an inhibitory neuron cell therapy derived from human embryonic stem cells. Indication Focal epilepsy; drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Therapeutic Mechanism NRTX-1001 is an…
Development of a Gene Therapy for the Treatment of WWOX related epileptic encephalopathy (WOREE)
Therapeutic Candidate or Device MZ-9138 is an AAV9 gene therapy Indication WWOX-related epileptic encephalopathy Therapeutic Mechanism MZ-9138 delivered to the brain may transduce neurons to create functioning WWOX protein and…
Inhibitory Nerve Cell Precursors: Dosing, Safety and Efficacy
Many neurological disorders are characterized by an imbalance between excitation and inhibition. Our ultimate goal: to develop a cell-based therapy to modulate aberrant brain activity in the treatment of these…
Derivation of Inhibitory Nerve Cells from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is caused by degeneration of a specific population of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain and is chronic, progressive, and incurable. Loss of dopamine-containing cells results in…
MGE Enhancers to Select for Interneuron Precursors Produced from Human ES Cells
There are now viable experimental approaches to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms that underlie severe brain disorders through the generation of stem cells, called iPS cells, from the skin…
