The motor neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is deadly and progresses very quickly. It is known that astrocyte-related factors have a role in the death and degeneration of motor neurons in ALS. The role of astrocyte in increasing motor neuron protein aggregation, a characteristic clinical feature of ALS, is, however, still completely unknown.

<h3>What is ALS in medical terms ?</h3>

A uncommon neurological condition called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) predominantly affects the nerve cells (neurons) in charge of regulating voluntary muscular activity (those muscles we choose to move).

  • There is no single clear cause of sporadic ALS, despite the fact that numerous environmental factors have been connected to the disease. These include pesticides, viruses, radiation, and electromagnetic fields in addition to poisons like beta-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA), which can be found in processed seafood.

The water comes from the most extensive store on the planet; the oceans. Ice Ages always corresponds to periods of low sea level because much of the ocean water is is land locked as glaciers.
