Research has made a link between decreasing regulatory T-cell (or Treg) levels in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and an increased rate of disease progression. Moreover, Tregs of ALS patients are known to become dysfunctional, with reduced anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions, contributing to neuroinflammation and the disease symptoms.
