At a time like this, so many are left wondering, "how could this happen to such a young, physically fit professional athlete?"

Key Points:

At a time like this, so many are left wondering, "how could this happen to such a young, physically fit professional athlete?"
Based upon the information available at this time, it appears most likely that Mr. Hamlin suffered from a special case of cardiac arrest brought upon by blunt trauma to the chest, known medically as commotio cordis.
This rhythm leads to sudden cardiac death, unless immediately reversed, typically as in this case, by application of an electric shock from a defibrillator.

Key Points:

We are delighted to receive his prestigious award with the University of Kentucky and look forward to building the dossier for MP-201 a mitochondrial targeting compound in Traumatic Brain Injury.
We are very excited about the potential of MP-201 as our research clearly shows a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and TBI.
Our previous research indicates that mitochondrial impairment is a key mediator of worsened response to repeated mild head impacts.
These compounds also induce an important neurotrophin, Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), involved in cognition and neural growth.
