Persistent NRG1 Type III Overexpression in Spinal Motor Neurons Has No Therapeutic Effect on ALS-Related Pathology in SOD1 G93A Mice

Background and Research Motivation Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease affecting upper and lower motor neurons, leading to progressive muscle paralysis and eventual death. Currently, no effective treatments can significantly delay or halt ALS progression. While various ALS mouse models (such as those carry...
