Inhibition of RAGE Protein Lessens ALS Symptoms in Mice, Study Finds
Inhibiting the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) protein lessens the symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to a study in mice. However, a full deletion of the RAGE gene shortens the lifespan of mice, highlighting the complex role of this protein in the context of neurodegeneration.
