Molecular Links Between ALS and Dementia Revealed in Groundbreaking Study

Groundbreaking study by MIT and Mayo Clinic researchers reveals remarkable similarities in cellular and molecular characteristics between ALS and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The findings suggest potential therapeutic targets for ALS may also be effective for FTLD, and vice versa, opening new avenues for understanding and treating neurodegenerative diseases.
