ALS is the most prevalent type of motor neuron disease (MND) which impacts motor neurons in the body. Genetic mutations in genes such as SOD1, as well as exposure to toxic substances or participation in contact sports, can elevate the likelihood of risk. While MND may be life-threatening, stem cell therapies have displayed promise, providing a glimmer of hope for extended periods of independent living in certain individuals, with ongoing research.
