Development of a theraphy for de Parkinson's disease
The company has begun a diversification process, which includes an entry into the field of Parkinson's disease, another major degenerative
illness. As such, it has signed a collaboration agreement with the research group of the CSIC (Spanish National Research Council).
The therapeutic target of the project consists of the promotion of the dopaminergic differentiation of the original brain cells.
This project has already given way to the first patent, for which Aracion has the exclusive licence. Experiments are currently being carried out to test the concept on animals, in order to analyse the therapeutic potential of the molecules, and its viability to be put into clinical practice.
This Project with reference number RTC-2015-3439-1 is funded by Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain an the European Regional Development Fund (ERFD)
