Targeting ERβ with a novel agonist in the treatment of peripheral neuropathies and metabolic disease
TS-075181 — PROBLEM
Metabolic diseases and peripheral neuropathies represent a major public health burden in the United States, and the risks increase as we age. Metabolic diseases, including diabetes and obesity, and peripheral neuropathy (PN) affect approximately 25-45% and 10-20% of U.S. adults aged 50-70 r…

Gene therapy for adipose neuropathy
TS-075160 — Problem
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) results in loss of innervation by the peripheral nerves in tissues such as skin, muscle, heart and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT). It is mostly associated with diabetes, obesity, aging, and chemotherapy. Affecting 10-20% of U.S. adults aged 50-70, PN is…

Gene Therapy Approach for Treating Neuropathy
TS-065913 — Gene therapy strategies for treating peripheral neuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) results in loss of innervation by the peripheral nerves in tissues such as skin, muscle, heart, and adipose tissue. It is a painful, debilitating disease, that is estimated to affect between 20 and 30 million Americans. The number of Americans affected by PN is likely muc…
