A new study finds ALS is linked to immune attacks on nerves, with immune responses affecting disease progression.
A new study links ALS to autoimmune activity, finding that CD4+ T cells in some patients attack the C9orf72 protein in nerves, triggering inflammation and nerve damage.
Researchers identified two patient groups: those with rapid progression had strong inflammatory responses, while longer-surviving patients had higher levels of protective anti-inflammatory T cells.
The findings, published in Nature, suggest immune system modulation could slow ALS progression and may apply to other neurodegenerative diseases.
About 5,000 Americans are diagnosed annually, with most surviving 14 to 18 months.
