GERMANTOWN, Md., March 14 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neuralstem, Inc. (Nasdaq:CUR), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel treatments for nervous system diseases, highlighted the publication of a manuscript in Nature Medicine showing that NSI-566, Neuralstem’s lead cell therapy candidate, provided meaningful improvement in forelimb function in a non-human primate model of acute spinal cord injury.
