Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder of upper and lower motor neurons that results in progressive motor impairment. ALS is the most common disease of motor neurons with an annual incidence of approximately 1.7–2.5 per 100,000 people. It is a terminal condition with a typical life expectancy of 2–5 years from symptom onset. […]

For several decades, levodopa-based treatments have been the mainstay of Parkinson’s disease (PD) therapy. However, current treatments do not prevent disease progression and there is no cure. In an attempt to find disease-modifying treatments, research into biotechnological treatment approaches ...
