Coya Therapeutics Presents Updated ALS Biomarker Data at the 2nd Annual Johnson Center Symposium

Retrieved on: 
星期五, 四月 26, 2024

The data presented highlights the strong predictive value of oxidative stress biomarker (4-HNE) levels with the rate of disease progression and survival in ALS patients from a longitudinal patient registry cohort.

Key Points: 
  • The data presented highlights the strong predictive value of oxidative stress biomarker (4-HNE) levels with the rate of disease progression and survival in ALS patients from a longitudinal patient registry cohort.
  • Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated mainly as byproducts of mitochondrial respiration and are tightly controlled by multiple anti-oxidant mechanisms.
  • In neurodegenerative diseases, such as ALS, when the antioxidant system is overwhelmed by overproduction of ROS, oxidative stress occurs.
  • 4-HNE, an abundant and reactive oxygen species, is thought to exert neuronal toxicity ultimately through formation of toxic protein aggregates, as seen in ALS patients.
