In some aspects, the disclosure relates to compositions and methods useful for inhibiting SOD1 expression in cells (e.g., cells of a subject). In some embodiments, the disclosure describes isolated nucleic acids engineered to express an inhibitory nucleic acid targeting endogenous SOD1 and an mRNA encoding a hardened SOD1 protein. In some embodiments, compositions and methods described by the disclosure are useful for treating Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in a subject.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an agent for preventing or treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), aging-related degenerative or neurological disease, brain aging, or diseases associated with brain aging, as well as a more stable antibody that exhibits an effect of preventing or treating these diseases, Alzheimer's disease (AD), or frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). A human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human HMGB1, wherein the human monoclonal antibody (anti-human HMGB1 antibody) comprises a heavy chain CDR1, heavy chain CDR2, and heavy chain CDR3 each consisting of a specific amino acid sequence and a light chain CDR1, light chain CDR2, and light chain CDR3 each consisting of a specific amino acid sequence, is used as an agent for preventing or treating ALS, PD, HD, SCA, aging-related degenerative or neurological disease, brain aging, or diseases associated with brain aging. An antibody in which the light chain complementarity determining region (CDR) 3 of the anti-human HMGB1 antibody has been modified is used.

Disclosed is an application of Teruravone in the preparation of a drug for treating the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease. Teruravone can significantly increase the survival rate of TDP-43 M337V stably transfected cells and reduce the LDH leakage rate, and has a potency superior to that of Edaravone, indicating that Teruravone possesses stronger neuroprotective activity. Preliminary clinical trials indicate that after oral administration of Teruravone to an ALS patient for 3 months, the Norris Scale score and the neurofilament light chain protein level in the blood remained generally stable, and the decline in ALSFRS-R score was significantly slowed. Thus, the clinical effect of delaying the disease course of ALS is achieved, and no serious adverse effects were observed.

The present disclosure provides cell penetrating agents comprising an intercellular module and an antibody, or antigen-binding antibody fragment thereof, that specifically binds to human TDP-43, and methods of using these cell penetrating agents to treat patients suffering from TDP-43 related diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The application relates to fused pyrimidinone derivatives of the general formula (I) which act as agonists of Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) useful for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Nasu-Hakola disease, frontotemporal dementia, multiple sclerosis, prion disease, and stroke.

Methods of treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of treating C9orf72 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (C9-ALS).

The present application provides compounds of Formula (I) and related compositions and methods, including methods of therapy for treating nervous system diseases and disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and methods for in vivo imaging of AMPA receptors or surrogates thereof in the brain. (I)

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising antioxidants as useful therapeutic agents for treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and methods thereof, are disclosed. In particular, the present disclosure provides enteric capsules and intravenous (i.v.) drip of aspirin-mimetic antioxidant drugs in intervention of ALS.

Disclosed herein are UNC13A oligonucleotides having one or more spacer regions or having no spacer regions. In various embodiments, UNC13A oligonucleotides with spacer regions can reduce misspliced UNC13A transcripts and increase full-length UNC13A transcripts, resulting in therapeutic efficacy on nervous system diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), or Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a c-AMP Response Element-Binding protein 3 (CREB3), in particular a variant of CREB3 protein, or a nucleic acid molecule encoding said CREB3 protein or said variant of CREB3 protein, for use as a medicament, in particular for treating or preventing diseases associated with a degeneration of motor neurons. The present invention further relates to CREB3 protein, in particular said variant of CREB3 protein, as a biomarker for the stratification or the prognosis of patients suffering, or susceptible of suffering, from a disease associated with a degeneration of motor neurons.

Disclosed herein are methods of treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a subject by administering a therapeutic MSC secretory group product prepared by a method comprising culturing a bone marrow-derived MSC under conditions comprising an oxygen tension of less than 5% and a culture medium having a pH of less than 7.

Disclosed herein are UNC13A antisense oligonucleotides with modified backbone structures. The disclosed UNC13A oligonucleotides reduce mis-spliced UNC13A transcripts and increase full length UNC13A transcripts, thereby imparting therapeutic efficacy against neurological diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), or Alzheimer's disease (AD).
