Study of the aetiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and development of therapies based on the neuroprotective role of mesenchymal stem cells

Description

We will analyse the earliest effects that occur in the neurons of the spinal cord, as well as the role played by glia, with the aim of identifying the mechanisms that cause and are involved in the disease. On the other hand, a potential pathway of propagation between neurons will be studied.
