INTRAVENTRICULAR PROTEIN DELIVERY FOR AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS

摘要

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis can be successfully treated using intraventricular delivery of a neurotrophic growth factor, IGF-I . The administration can be performed slowly to achieve maximum effect. Effects are seen on both sides of the blood-brain barrier, making this a delivery means for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis which affects both brain and skeletal muscle.
