Developing and testing therapies for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a lethal motor neuron disorder, characterized by selective and progressive degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons. Currently the only available drug for the treatment of ALS is Riluzole, which exerts little overall effects. Therefore ALS is currently an untreatable disease. A small proportion (5%) of patients develop the hereditary form of the disease known as fam...
