Polygenic scoring system may help to predict ALS risk

A new genetic risk score that takes hundreds of different genetic variations into account may help predict who’s most likely to develop amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The score needs to be validated in future studies before being used in the clinic, but could be important to stratify people according…

1st healthy volunteer dosed in trial of potential ALS therapy VTX3232

The first healthy volunteer has been dosed in a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating VTX3232, Ventyx Biosciences’ investigational oral therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative conditions. Top-line data from the trial are expected in the first half of 2024. “VTX3232 is our fourth internally discovered…

Magnetic stimulation seen to restore ALS motor neurons in cell study

Magnetic stimulation restored the health of lab-grown motor neurons — the muscle-controlling nerve cells that die in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — derived from people with familial ALS, according to a proof-of-concept study. The approach improved several biological processes in motor neurons, including the movement of cellular components along…
