"ALS, Mouse Models, and Therapeutic Strategies"

Cat Lutz, MBA, PhD gives her presentation Advances in genome sequencing have uncovered a number of causative and contributing genes associated with #als. Coincident with this gene discovery are advances in genetic engineering and genetic based therapeutic strategies for the disease. Mouse models play a crucial role in understanding the biology associated with the genetic mutations for ALS, provide insights into sporadic ALS disease mechanisms, and serve as patient avatars to test the efficacy of new treatments. This presentation will review some of the latest mouse models for ALS and their use in advancing therapeutics.
