Our data indicates that molecules that enhance NGF/TrkA and BDNF/TrkB signaling, have a broad therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative diseases", commented Ms. Dahlström,

"There is substantial preclinical support for our two candidate drugs, ACD855 and ACD856, as novel cognitive enhancers in vivo. There is a strong evidence from both different cellular contexts in vitro as well as from multiple efficacy models in vivo. ACD855 is currently in a clinical phase 1 study whereas ACD856 is in pre-clinical development", commented Dr. Forsell,
