  1. Application of P7C3 Compounds to Investigating and Treating Acute and Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurotherapeutics : the journal of the American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics 2023-08-31 Biomarkers

    Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading worldwide cause of disability, and there are currently no medicines that prevent, reduce, or reverse acute or chronic neurodegeneration in TBI patients.

  2. Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF): New facets of an old molecule for treating neurodegenerative and metabolic syndrome pathologies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Cytokine & growth factor reviews 2015-07-03 Brain scans and imaging

    Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is the most extensively studied member of the cytokine family that signal through intracellular chains of the gp130/LIFRβ receptor.

  3. Pharmacological targeting of IDO-mediated tolerance for treating autoimmune disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Current drug metabolism 2007-04-01 TREM2 and immune genetics

    This stops local T cell proliferation to ultimately result in the most dramatic example of immune tolerance, acceptance of the fetus.

  4. Can herbs provide a new generation of drugs for treating Alzheimer's disease?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research. Brain research reviews 2005-11-02 Treatments

    The overall aim of this review is to discuss cellular mechanisms at work in the progression of AD and current therapeutic strategies for treating AD, with a focus on the potential efficacy of herbal treatments.

  5. Non-cholinergic strategies for treating and preventing Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. CNS drugs 2002-01-01 Treatments
