- HOPE-Neuron Therapeutx
Health
HOPE-Neuron Therapeutx is a neurobiology company focused on developing treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other autoimmune neurodegenerative disorders. His personal experience attempting to save his wife, Sandy Elizabeth Lane, from Alzheimer's disease was the catalyst for over a decade of research that led to the company's formation. The core technology is named SELanetx™ in her memory.The company is developing a novel, device-enabled therapeutic platform called SELanetx™ that operates without drugs or stem cells. This point-of-care therapy is a 30-minute outpatient procedure that involves withdrawing approximately 300mL of a patient's blood. The blood is processed through a closed-loop system that uses mechanotransduction and controlled hyperoxia to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in a controlled manner. This process stimulates a natural immune reset known as efferocytosis, which reprograms chronic inflammatory "killer" cells (M1) into "healer" cells (M2). The treated blood is then re-infused into the patient.HOPE-Neuron's primary focus is preparing for first-in-human IRB trials for ALS in partnership with institutions like Banner Health and the Gregory W. Fulton ALS Clinic at the Barrow Neurological Institute. Preclinical research, conducted with the Indiana University School of Medicine, has shown preserved motor function and validated immune shifts in ALS mouse models. The company's business model is a treatment-based partnership structure designed for scalability. Beyond ALS, the technology has potential applications for Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, selected cancers, and other neuro-inflammatory conditions. The company holds a global intellectual property portfolio with active patents in the U.S., Canada, Japan, and India.
