Neurizon Therapeutics Ltd. has presented preclinical data on their compound NUZ-001 for the potential treatment of neurological disorders.

The specific tau isoforms, such as 3-repeat (3R) and 4-repeat (4R) isoforms, and the distinct conformational strains that misfolded tau can adopt are determinants of the molecular and clinical heterogeneity observed across tauopathies.

Alzheon Inc.’s oral treatment for people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease missed its phase III primary endpoint, adding yet another therapy to a long list by many developers that can’t beat dementia. The study also received grant money, which is in increasingly short supply.

The current treatment strategies for neurodegenerative diseases focus on targeting Aβ in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), α-synuclein aggregates in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and anti-tau therapies, which are primarily used in AD but are also being explored for PD. At the 2025 International Conference of Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s Disease and Related Neurological Disorders, Aditya Iyer, senior RD scientist from Amyl Therapeutics Srl, presented data on an option which could potentially serve as a pan-amyloid therapeutic.

ABL Bio Inc. announced April 7 that it sealed a potential £2.075 billion (US$2.65 billion) license deal with GSK plc, granting GSK global rights to use ABL’s blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrating bispecific antibody platform, Grabody-B, to develop multiple programs in the neurodegenerative disease arena. Under the terms signed April 5, ABL agreed to transfer Grabody-B-related technology and know-how to GSK, upon which GSK will assume responsibility for preclinical and clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization.

The survival and plasticity of neurons depends on the signaling of the nerve growth factors BDNF and NGF acting through TRK receptors, which is crucial in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Alzecure Pharma’s ACD-856 is a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of TRK receptors that is in phase I trials for AD, and has shown good safety, pharmacokinetics and target engagement in the central nervous system.
