Overview

**LAUR-101** is a preclinical intravenous nanomedicine from Lauren Sciences being developed for Parkinson's disease. It uses the company's V-Smart nanoparticle platform to deliver **glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor** across the blood-brain barrier to dopaminergic neurons in the striatum and substantia nigra, with the goal of providing neurotrophic support and slowing neurodegeneration. The therapeutic payload is GDNF, a protein that signals through the GFRalpha1 and RET pathway and has shown neuroprotective and dopaminergic-restorative effects in preclinical Parkinson's disease models; Lauren Sciences has reported animal data indicating brain delivery after IV dosing, improved motor outcomes, increased dopamine levels, and preservation of dopaminergic neurons.
