Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a paradigmatic neurodegenerative disease, characterized by progressive paralysis of skeletal muscles associated with motor neuron degeneration. It is well-established that glial cells play a key role in ALS pathogenesis. In transgenic rodent models for familial ALS reactive astrocytes, microglia and oligodendrocyte precursors accumulate in the degenerating spinal cord and...
