We are exploring the effectiveness of three increasingly well established neuroprotectants - dietary saffron, photobiomodulation and remote ischaemic preconditioning. Each show remarkable ability to slow degenerations in models of these three diseases, and a clinical trial of saffron in AMD (age-related macular degeneration) has begun.
