Thank you Dr. Ozdinler for introducing SPFoundation to #Akava and Dr. Richard B. Silverman as a 2024 Annual Conference sponsor. Great therapies could be realized on a potential treatment called NU9, the first compound identified that improves the health of upper motor neurons. #ChampionCures #healhumanity Originally identified by Dr. Silverman, who invented the drug Lyrica (pregabalin) and formed the upper motor neuron disease-based company Akava Theraputics, NU9 appears to overcome all four areas of identified cellular dysfunction and improves the function of upper motor neurons in diseased Spastin-UeGFP transgenic mice. Further research is needed but the early results are encouraging. P.
