Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as motor neuron disease, MND) is characterised by rapid paralysis leading to death within 2 to 5 years of onset. There are no effective diagnostic tests or treatments. Confusion remains around the primary cause of paralysis. We recently discovered ALS gene mutations that disrupt normal nerve function, a process known as abnormal protostasis. This gives us a unique opportunity to unlock the primary cause of paralysis and develop animal models of ALS

肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS，又称运动神经元病，MND)的特点是发病后2至5年内迅速瘫痪导致死亡。目前还没有有效的诊断测试或治疗方法。人们仍然对瘫痪的主要原因感到困惑。我们最近发现了ALS基因突变，这种突变会扰乱正常的神经功能，这一过程被称为异常原生状态。这给了我们一个独特的机会来解开瘫痪的主要原因并开发ALS的动物模型
