Neurosciences Program Neuronal (or nerve cell) rescue involves the use of a therapeutic agent to prevent disease or injury of parts of the nervous system that may be under threat. Neuronal rescue represents a major opportunity for the development of new therapies. In the past, the treatment of neurological disorders has been targeted at symptoms; however, as the understanding of brain injury has increased, new approaches to treatment are emerging. |
Metabolism/Cancer Program Growth hormone (GH) has traditionally been studied and developed for states of GH deficiency or growth-related disorders. More recently, new information about the role of GH in metabolism and cell growth has triggered interest in a range of new therapeutic targets including lipid dysregulation, metabolic syndrome and cancer. |
