How does NurOwn help with ALS?

Category: NurOwn

NurOwn is an experimental cell-based therapy that is being investigated in clinical trials as a potential treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It contains specialized stem cells that produce significant amounts of molecules known to promote nerve cell growth and survival. This is expected to reduce nerve cell damage and potentially slow disease progression in ALS patients.
