New Research in ALS – Mitoautophagy Responsible for Development of Early Stages of Neurodegeneration

Researchers at Northwestern Medicine have discovered a new phenomenon in the brain that could explain the development of early stages of neurodegeneration seen in diseases such as ALS, which affects voluntary muscle movement such as walking and talking Mitoautophagy. What is the discovery: The researchers have invented a new term to describe the discovery: Mitoautophagy,
