    Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

    Our Method

    Our Unique Approach to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the motor system but is increasingly recognized to have extra-motor manifestations. Respiratory muscle failure often limits survival to 2–5 years after onset  making early, targeted intervention critical.

    Understanding ALS

    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the motor system but is increasingly recognized to have extra-motor manifestations. 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

    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 regenerative therapies that can slow or halt progression.

    Regenerative Cell Therapy

    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, offering new hope for ALS patients worldwide.

    Stem Cell Capabilities

    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 they can protect existing healthy neurons and glial cells from further damage.
