cGAMP biomarker analysis in ALS patient spinal cord samples

Clinical Score: 0.850 Price: $0.50 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis human patients Status: proposed

What This Experiment Tests

Clinical experiment designed to assess clinical efficacy targeting N/A in human patients. Primary outcome: cGAMP levels in spinal cord tissue

Description

Analysis of spinal cord tissue samples from ALS patients to measure levels of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), the specific metabolite produced by cGAS activation. This study aimed to validate the clinical relevance of cGAS/STING pathway activation in human ALS and establish cGAMP as a potential biomarker for mitochondrial DNA release and innate immune activation in ALS patients.
