Our Unique Approach to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
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 and wasting requiring a multi-layered, targeted therapeutic approach.
ALS Disease Overview
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) 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 throughout the body.
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 critical need for effective and timely 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. This approach represents a significant shift toward addressing the underlying mechanisms of neuronal loss in ALS.
Neuroprotective & Regenerative Effects
Stem cells have the remarkable ability to repair damaged neuronal tissue by replacing lost or damaged cells with differentiated cells. They can create an environment conducive to regeneration, or protect existing healthy neurons and glial cells from further damage — offering meaningful therapeutic potential in ALS management.
