ALS-RAP

ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which leads to total paralysis and death, usually within two to five years of diagnosis. The vast majority of ALS cases are believed to be caused by a diverse combination of genetic and environmental factors. There is no cure... ALS-RAP is comprised of world experts in research antibody generation and validation, including the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) and its associated labs at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) McGill University in Montreal (Canada), the University of Oxford (UK), and the Karolinska Institute (Sweden).
