Gene therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy: A randomized, placebo-controlled phase III study of VM202, a plasmid DNA encoding human hepatocyte growth factor

John A. Kessler et al.

Summary: VM202, a plasmid DNA encoding two isoforms of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), demonstrated significant and clinically meaningful pain reduction in a phase III study for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in an extension study, suggesting potential for altering disease progression and warranting further investigation despite falling short of efficacy endpoints in the initial study.

HGF and MET: From Brain Development to Neurological Disorders

Claudia Desole et al.

Summary: HGF and its receptor MET play crucial roles in the nervous system, not only involved in neuronal growth and survival, but also in synaptogenesis during brain development. Furthermore, HGF exerts neuroprotective effects in adulthood, aiding in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
