Neurology and neurological disease expertsAbout neurology & neurological disease
Neurology on Halo is shaped by one obstacle: almost nothing reaches the brain unaided. A large share of the work is about crossing the blood-brain barrier, and much of the rest treats neurological disease as inflammation. On Halo it spans 7 groups, including alzheimer's therapeutics, crossing the blood-brain barrier, and neuroinflammation targets.
Stage of development. Work on neurology & neurological disease on Halo comes mostly from university programs. 75% are past proof of concept (TRL 4 or higher). Co-development and sponsored research are the usual partnering routes, and about 52% of the solutions that state terms offer licensing.
Three trends in neurology and neurological disease on Halo
The barrier is the problem. Five separate approaches exist only to get a molecule into the brain: cadherin peptides that loosen the junctions, light-induced mechanical opening, a lipid-polymer hybrid particle, vesicles aimed at microglia, and an in-vivo assay for scoring whether a candidate arrives at all. The therapy is often downstream of the delivery.
Microglia as the target. Four programs treat the immune cell and not the neuron. One maps microglial activation states across the whole brain, another screens against microglial ferroptosis, a third pushes the niacin receptor HCAR2 toward neuroprotection in tau disease. The neuron is what gets protected, not what gets dosed.
Remyelination as a goal in its own right. The multiple sclerosis solutions are not immunosuppressants. ELOVL6 inhibition promotes remyelination directly, a small molecule targets the long non-coding RNA GAS5, and reduced GALC activity in adult white matter is treated as a druggable vulnerability. Repair and not restraint.

Frequently asked questions
What is neurology and neurological disease?
Neurology covers the drugs, delivery routes and measurement tools aimed at the brain, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. It spans methods for crossing the blood-brain barrier, neuroinflammation targets, remyelination in multiple sclerosis, non-opioid neuropathic pain, and the models and instruments used to measure any of it. Pharmaceutical developers and academic neuroscience groups are active in it.
