Waging a War against Motor Neuron Disease. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, April 2009, Pages: 116
Despite the great strides that have been made in
research for Lou Gehrig’s Disease in the twentieth
century, effective treatments are sorely lacking.
This is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder
that progresses rapidly to paralysis and death.
What will we do to address treatment options?
Waging a War against Motor Neuron Disease describes
the development of a cell model and biochemical
assays that may lead to the discovery of mechanisms
of ALS. This original work provides groundbreaking
evidence that proteomics analysis in spinal cord
extracts of ALS mice may yield new protein targets
and suggests that therapeutic approaches can be
derived from developments in the laboratory. This
book describes translational research that is
leading to promising findings at the J Thomas May
Center for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The
May Center is focused on moving new treatments
rapidly from the laboratory to the clinic.
