ALS Patients Show Increased Response to Specific Receptor in Spinal Cord

Motor neuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients is caused by several factors, including inflammation and oxidative stress. Uncovering the multiple pathways leading to ALS may suggest new ways to intervene therapeutically. University of Pittsburgh researchers found the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) and its ligands, or…

ALS Protein Dynamics May Hold Clues for Disease Progression

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have suggested there is a fine balance between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-related protein TDP-43’s normal function and its potential to cause neurodegeneration. The degeneration seems to occur due to pathological factors that exaggerate the protein’s membrane association, resulting in the loss of its physiological functions as well as…
