Treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Schlerosis

摘要

The present invention relates to the treatment of motoneuron diseases. More particularly the invention relates to the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is found that the intracerebroventricular delivery of low amounts of vascular endothelial growth factor into a preclinical ALS animal model induces a significant motor performance and prolongation of survival time of said animals.
