Use of anti-TREM1 neutralizing antibodies for the treatment of motor neuron neurodegenerative disorders
Anti-TREM1 antibodies target TREM1 to mitigate neuroinflammation and microglial activation, effectively slowing ALS progression by reducing inflammation in the brain and spinal cord.

AI Technical Summary
Current treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) do not effectively address the multifactorial neuroinflammation driven by microglial activation and TREM1-enhanced neurotoxic responses, which contribute to motor neuron degeneration.
Administration of anti-TREM1 antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments to neutralize TREM1, reducing microglial neuronal uptake, pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and microglial migration, thereby attenuating brain and spinal cord inflammation in ALS models.
The anti-TREM1 antibodies significantly reduce inflammation and slow the progression of ALS by decreasing microglial activity and inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, providing therapeutic benefits in preclinical models.
