NeuVasQ company profile

NeuVasQ is developing drugs to restore blood-brain barrier function in acute neurological disorders such as stroke and epilepsy, as well as neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. It is based on discoveries about the molecular mechanisms that keep the blood-brain barrier intact (BBB). The BBB regulates the exchange of information between the vascular and central nervous systems (CNS). Increased BBB permeability, whether due to age or injury, plays a role in many neurological conditions by allowing harmful blood substances to enter the CNS. Many neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's, as well as a variety of acute neurological conditions, such as stroke and epilepsy, are associated with BBB dysfunction.
