Embodiments of the invention include novel peptides that can promote the survival of neurons and other cell types. Other embodiments of the invention include peptides to promote neuronal migration, neurite outgrowth, neuronal proliferation, neural differentiation, neuronal survival, and / or trophoblast proliferation, trophoblast migration, and trophoblast survival. Including how to use. The NRP compound can be administered to the subject or to the subject's cells either directly by a variety of means (including oral, intraperitoneal, intravascular administration) or indirectly via a replicable vehicle. The NRP compound can be formulated into a pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form for use in therapy. A kit containing a predetermined dose of NRP can be conveniently stored, prepared, and administered to a subject in need thereof. |
