Current and future approaches in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressing, as yet incurable neurodegenerative disease that poses considerable medical, therapeutic and social challenges. Despite its comparatively low prevalence, ALS represents a central issue in neurological research due to its complexity and severity. New findings on molecular pathogenesis, the role of genetic factors and the development of innovative therapeutic strategies open up promising prospects for diagnosis, treatment and care.
