Research aimed at understanding amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has seen exceptional growth in the past few years. New genes, new models, and new mechanisms have not only improved our understanding, but also contributed to the increasing complexity of ALS pathogenesis. The focus of this piece is to highlight some of the more notable developments in the field and to encourage a re-appreciation for the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mouse models.
过去几年,旨在了解肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)的研究取得了显著进展。新基因、新模型和新机制不仅增进了我们的理解,也使ALS发病机制的复杂性不断增加。本文的重点是突出该领域一些较为显著的进展,并促使人们重新认识超氧化物歧化酶1(SOD1)小鼠模型。
