Clinical trials: Motor Neuron Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Pilot-Study of Thalidomide in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Neuroinflammation has recently emerged as a significant contributor to motor neuron damage. ALS tissue is characterized by inflammatory changes that are observed in both sporadic and familial ALS and in the ALS superoxide…
