The homeostasis of zinc in brain nerve cells is critical for neurotransmission and survival.
Low zinc concentration causes degenerative brain diseases and high zinc concentration causes acute brain diseases. Zincure is developing chemicals and peptides that regulate zinc homeostasis to treat brain diseases.
Lysosome is the key of Neurodegenerative disease
Neurodegenerative brain diseases are categorized by the site of origin and the type of toxic protein that causes them. The main reason is that misfolded proteins are unable to be degraded and aggregate as the lysosome becomes less active, resulting in neuronal cell death. The new drug developed by Zincure enhances the activity of the lysosome, causing it to degrade itself.
