A study from the Institute for Neurosciences UMH-CSIC identifies a key mechanism in the degeneration of motor neurons in ALS

The results suggest that chaperone-mediated autophagy, a cellular ‘selective cleaning’ system, could become a new therapeutic target. The study, published in Acta Neuropathologica Communications, was conducted using human tissues from clinical trials and opens new avenues for the development of treatments to slow the progression of ALS.
