Resagen: Therapy for damaged motor neurons

Our extensive research data has provided promising proof of concept for Resagen, a potential gene therapy product for patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Applying this research could lead to a safe and effective treatment. Ongoing work continues with the hope of starting clinical trials in the near future.
