All types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, are debilitating neurodegenerative
conditions marked by compromised cognitive function for which there are few effective
treatments. Positive modulation of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/MET, a critical
neurotrophic signaling system, may promote neuronal health and function, thereby
addressing neurodegeneration in dementia. Here, we evaluate a series of novel small
molecules for their ability to (1) positively modulate HGF/MET activity,(2) induce neurotrophic�…
