ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Neuralstem Inc., (Amex: CUR) today announced that it has licensed the rights to three inventions from Cleveland Clinic pertaining to Targeted Spinal Cord Therapeutics Delivery.

Garr went on to say, "The technology licensed today will help us to meet those goals."

Neuralstem will use this technology in its clinical trial for ALS (Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease). The company anticipates filing its IND (Investigational New Drug) application with the FDA for the ALS trial in the next few weeks, and hopes to start the trial early in 2009.
