Strokes constitute over 50% of all neurological diseases, standing as the foremost cause of physical and mental disability. Currently, there are no widely accepted gold standard treatments for ischemic strokes beyond intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy applied during the acute therapeutic window. Therefore, the need for novel treatments targeting crucial signaling mediators involved in ischemic stroke is of utmost importance. The sigma-1 receptor (S1R), a molecular chaperone located at mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAM), has exhibited neuroprotective effects when modulated by synthetic and endogenous agents across various cerebrovascular diseases. In this review, we describe the emerging therapeutic role of S1R agonists and antagonists in regulating blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and neurocognitive impairment following ischemic stroke.

With our few 1000s of profitable AVXL LTCG shares, I’m still waiting for those peer-reviewed journal results CM mentioned a time or two. My “Weinstein event” referred to an alert, stating Harvey had been hospitalized with a heart attack. Life, and message boards, are stressful for many people, AMRN shareholders included. Thanks for your calm response.

We’ll, Not We
What does WGT mean?
It’s an awkward, pejorative acronym used by various posters to mean for (but not by) AVXL longs, “We Got This.”
In fact, all of us who hold long AVXL positions know that neither we nor Anavex have ‘gotten this.’
But, for us, the acronym still works, when it’s “Well Get This."
The future of Anavex Life Sciences Corp is sound and strong. Will just take longer than we hoped.
In that regard, I’ve punched all of the relevant numbers into my AVXL investment spreadsheet. Over the years, with fully discretionary funds (left over after all financial obligations were paid off) I’ve accumulated a very modest AVXL position, a few thousand shares.
And, of course, the cumulative value of that position hasn’t much appreciated. But I knew going in that startup pharmas take many years (10 or more) to achieve full commercial success.
I can wait; when I compare what my AVXL purchase funds would have produced in a conventional ETF or other “safe” investment, compared to the rewards I’ll receive when Anavex finally has global sales for several CNS diseases. Then, I’ll be WAY ahead — worth the long wait.

WGT is an acronym for We Got This. The WGTers, as I call them, are shareholders who firmly believe Anavex has already proven the safety and efficacy of Blarcamesine beyond any doubt. Further, they believe and promote conspiracy theories that the FDA, big pharma, and certain Wall Street investors who are in cahoots are doing everything they can to ensure that Anavex fails. For the WGTers, there is no room for any doubt and anyone who dares to question or challenge anything Missling says is a FUDster or (God forbid) worse.
