    ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)

    Our Method

    Our Unique Approach to ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)

    ALS is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting the motor system, increasingly recognised to have extra-motor manifestations. Progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons leads to gradual muscle weakness requiring a multi-layered, targeted therapeutic approach.

    ALS Disease Overview

    ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the motor system. The progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons in the motor cortex, brainstem nuclei, and spinal cord's anterior horn leads to gradual muscle weakness and wasting.

    Disease Progression & Survival

    ALS typically starts in a specific area but eventually spreads to other regions of the body. Respiratory muscle failure often limits survival to 2–5 years after the onset of the disease, underscoring the urgent need for effective therapeutic interventions.

    Stem Cell Therapy Emergence

    In the past two decades, regenerative cell therapy — also known as stem cell therapy — has emerged as a promising avenue for exploring innovative strategies to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS.

    Neuroprotective & Regenerative Effects

    Stem cells have the remarkable ability to repair damaged neuronal tissue by replacing lost or damaged cells with differentiated cells, creating an environment conducive to regeneration, and protecting existing healthy neurons and glial cells from further damage.
