The latest in ALS research at Ohio State | Ohio State Medical Center

Physician-scientist Stephen Kolb discusses updates in ALS research at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, including the latest discovery of a gene associated with ALS that will help explain how and why it causes the disease. ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a neurodegenerative disease where motor neurons start to die sooner than they're supposed to making patients progressively weaker. The disease affects a person's independence due to the loss of connection of the brain to muscle. This eventually causes problems with speech, swallowing and breathing, and ultimately results in death. #ALS #research 00:00 What is ALS? 01:54 ALS symptoms, treatment and risk factors 04:59 ALS gene study 08:24 People at risk for ALS 11:48.
