**Gene Therapy Breakthrough**: Patient with Aggressive ALS Beats the Odds and Exceeds Life Expectancy with New Treatment!
Umea, Sweden – Scientists at Umeå University have achieved a significant breakthrough in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research, showcasing promising results in the treatment of a patient with a particularly aggressive form of the disease. Through a new gene therapy targeting the SOD1 gene mutation, the progression of ALS in the patient has notably slowed, surpassing typical expectations for life expectancy and functionality. The therapy is designed to reduce levels of the harmful SOD1 protein, …
