ALS Therapy Development Institute

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson’s disease are three of the most well-known conditions that fall under the umbrella of neurodegenerative disorders. All are diseases of the central nervous system with some possible overlapping disease processes and points of therapeutic intervention. They share many similar symptoms, and at times can often be mistaken for one another, especially in their earlier stages. However, there are key differences in their symptoms and prognoses that make each one a unique and challenging condition.
