Pharmacological Intervention of the Arachidonic Acid Pathway to Cure Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Unmet NeedAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) affects as many as 30,000 people in the United States alone, with 5,000 new cases diagnosed every year. ALS is a fatal neuromuscular disease that is characterized by a progressive degeneration of the motor nerve cells and spinal cord. There are only two drugs approved by FDA for the treatment of ALS, and...

Target Validation of Splicing Repression, a Major Function of TDP-43 in the Motor Neuron

Unmet NeedAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare but debilitating disease characterized by the death of motor neurons that eventually leads to difficulty moving, speaking, swallowing, and breathing. The fundamental cause of ALS is unknown and as a result treatment options are primarily restricted to physical therapy to help prolong muscle strength....
