The effect of novel heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitors on total and phosphorylated tau levels in cerebrospinal fluid and memory deficits in the hTAU441 (tauopathy) mouse transgenic model of Alzheimer's disease
(300 WORDS MAX.) Yuma Therapeutics is a privately held biotechnology company focused on developing drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. The Company's approach is to reduce the production of phosphorylated tau (p-tau) protein which is observed in many AD patients and believed to be involved in the memory loss and learning. By reducing p-tau production, we believe we could improve the daily lives of AD patients. We are ready to test our novel small molecule compound in animal model of AD.
