TreeFrog's Chief Scientific Officer & Co-founder, Maxime Feyeux, to present at The 23rd Congress of the Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine (JSRM)
BORDEAUX, France, March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TreeFrog Therapeutics, a cell therapy development company with its lead program in Parkinson's Disease is today presenting their latest data in Parkinson's Disease, at the 23rd Congress of the Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine, in Niigata, Japan.
- Parkinson's Disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, caused by the progressive loss of neurons in the midbrain and other brain regions.
- Affecting 10 million people worldwide, it is a debilitating disease and there is an urgent unmet need as only symptomatic treatment is currently available.
- Symptoms usually appear when between 60-80% of dopaminergic neurons are already lost, so a regenerative medicine approach that can replace these neurons holds great potential.
- The microtissue format has many benefits, including better reproducibility and a better-quality control as batch release is based on mechanism of action relevant dopamine quantification" explains Maxime Feyeux, Chief Scientific Officer, TreeFrog Therapeutics.
