MATERIAL COMPRISING NM23 LINKED TO A SUBSTRATE FOR USE IN TREATING NEURON DISORDERS

摘要

Provided are materials for promoting neuron growth, the materials comprising Nm23 protein, or a biologically effective fragment or derivative thereof, linked to a substrate capable of supporting neuron growth. The Nm23 may preferably be immobilised on the substrate. The materials provided may be suitable for implantation at a site of neuronal disruption. The materials may be adapted to guide neuron growth. The invention also provides an Nm23 protein, or a therapeutically effective fragment or derivative thereof, linked to a substrate capable of supporting neuron growth, for use as a medicament, as well as corresponding methods of treatment.
