Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation Awards Grant To CohBar to Develop A Novel Peptide Therapeutic For Alzheimer's Disease
Date:3/6/2013

, MD, co-founder of CohBar, notes there is great potential for evaluating Humanin analogs in Alzheimer's disease as well as other disease areas. "Our unique Humanin analogs hold significant potential as innovative medicines and this award provides critical funding to explore their promise in Alzheimer's disease," he says. "In addition, the association of insulin resistance and Alzheimer's disease, and the interesting finding that Humanin improves hepatic insulin resistance through a central mechanism, provide an intriguing and potentially important link between Humanin's positive effects on Alzheimer's disease and its effects to lower glucose in Type 2 diabetes."
