A devastating nerve disease stalks a mountain village.

Neurologists have grappled with a cluster of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases in France, where a fondness for a toxic wild mushroom may hold the answer.

Very slick new use for the AVP

Mark, a 64-year old man with #AmyotrophicLateralSclerosis (#ALS), successfully used his direct thoughts to control the cursor on the #Apple #VisionPro when he played Solitaire, watched #AppleTV and sent text messages using the #Synchron brain computer interface, hands-free. Mark is otherwise unable to use the #AppleVisionPro due to the loss of function of his upper limbs. Apple Vision Pro requires hand gestures to make item selections.

New research out of #London, Ont.’s #WesternUniversity is shedding light on a potential cure for #ALS, in which the targeting of the interaction between two proteins can halt or fully reverse the disease’s progression.

According to a news release from Western University on Monday, a team of researchers, led by Dr. #MichaelStrong, have discovered a potential path toward a cure for #AmyotrophicLateralSclerosis, also known as ALS

The FDA has approved Biogen's ALS drug, Tofersen, an antisense oligo targeting SOD1. I wrote about this back in September in my Clinical Pipeline column as part of a shift towards approving drugs based on biomarkers without clear signs of clinical efficacy*.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41591-022-00098-w

*You can have a look at the trial data in NEJM, in a study that concluded that "In persons with SOD1 ALS, tofersen reduced concentrations of SOD1 in CSF and of neurofilament light chains in plasma over 28 weeks but did not improve clinical end points and was associated with adverse events."

Study Traces Shared and Unique Cellular Hallmarks Found in 6 Neurodegenerative Diseases

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Friedreich’s ataxia, frontotemporal dementia, Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease harbor similar fundamental dysfunctional cellular processes.
