Trial ALS drug shows potential to drag out patient endurance Kumar Jeetendra | October 18, 2020 An experimental medicine that was recently shown to slow the progression of the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, has now demonstrated the capacity to also prolong patient survival. The findings come from a clinical trial conducted by investigators at the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts …
Analysts recognize interface among ALS and collection of DNA-RNA hybrids in the genome Kumar Jeetendra | January 13, 2021 Researchers from the University of Seville and the University of Pavia have identified a connection between Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and the accumulation of DNA-RNA hybrids in the genome. The accumulation of these hybrids causes increased genomic damage and boosts genetic instability. This finding will make it possible to better understand the molecular basis of …
