Interesting work here to overcome blood-brain-barrier issue:
Lauren Sciences LLC research team at Ben-Gurion University awarded grant from The ALS Association to develop V-Smart™ Therapeutic for ALS
PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 12-Aug-2014
"Trophic factors and other neuroprotective and regenerative agents, that do not get into the brain by existing oral or i.v. delivery, have shown potential to protect motor neurons during the course of ALS. V-Smart™ has shown ability to deliver therapeutic agents across the BBB following systemic administration."
"Our pre-clinical studies demonstrated that V-Smart™ can encapsulate neurotrophins and transport them across the BBB to specific target sites within the central nervous system (CNS).
