United States Patent 8,853,166 Saarma, et al. Octo
Post# of 30028
This is a patent for Saarma and his CDNF. Since these neurotrophic factors are similar, I just wanted to point out some of the great indications he's patenting for!
"In this invention, we characterized the distribution of Manf mRNA and protein in developing and adult brain and in non-neuronal tissues. We also discovered the effect of MANF in pathological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease, status epilepticus and global forebrain ischemia (i.e. stroke)."
