The adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) modulates ionic conductance in neuronal membrane and contributes to the anticonvulsant and neuroprotective role of the endogenous neuromodulator adenosine. Because A1Rs are present all throughout the body, the development of A1R modulation as antiseizure strategy may face difficulties such as side effects in the heart or other organs.
In what represents its first patenting, Roseville, Minn.-based Iveacare Inc. provides insights as to what its first therapeutic target will likely be since the developer of neuromodulation therapy devices emerged from stealth mode in April 2024 with the closing of $27.5 million series A financing.
The first patenting from Encephalogix Inc. details its development of platform that uses machine learning and AI to analyze EEG data that is typically ignored.
UCB SA is divesting its mature neurology and allergy business in China, selling those products to CBC Group and Mubadala Investment Co. for $680 million so it can refocus on innovation and partnerships in China. The deal includes UCB’s manufacturing site in Zhuhai in Guangdong province.
With a move into Lilly Gateway Labs in Boston’s Seaport District, privately held Tevard Biosciences Inc. is ramping up development of its transfer RNA (tRNA)-based therapies to cure everything from Dravet syndrome and other neurological conditions to cardiology indications and muscular dystrophies.

In what represents the first patenting to emerge from Braincapture ApS, its chief executive officer, Tue Lehn-Schiøler, describes the development of a low-cost, portable electroencephalogram device designed to enhance neurological diagnostics in underserved communities around the world.
Researchers from the University of Southern California filed for protection of a thin film electrode array they developed to be implanted using endovascular methods for minimally invasive, high-resolution electrical recording and stimulation of the nervous system and other electrogenic tissue.
Adherens junction-associated protein 1 (AJAP1) is a transmembrane protein that inhibits tumor cell migration and is a susceptibility gene for migraine. Recent hypotheses have pointed toward the potential involvement of AJAP1 in epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
Researchers from Arizona State University and Mayo Clinic have filed for protection of wireless, battery-free brain implants which may be used in the monitoring, stimulation, and treatment of epilepsy, tumors, neurodegenerative disorders, neuroinflammatory conditions and trauma.
