Background and purpose
In 2016, we concluded a randomized controlled trial testing 1 mg rasagiline per day add‐on to standard therapy in 252 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. This article aims at better characterizing ALS patients who could possibly benefit from rasagiline by reporting new subgroup analysis and genetic data.
Methods
We performed further exploratory in‐depth analyses...
The highest risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative diseases like tauopathies is aging. Many physiological decrements underlying aging are linked to cellular senescence. Senescent cells are characterized by an irreversible growth arrest and formation of a senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP), a proinflammatory secretome that modifies the cellular microenvironment and contributes...
