This is quite literally the BEST explanation video of ALS mechanisms that I've ever seen. As a PhD student studying for my qualifying exam, THANK YOU!!!
Perfect Lecture! Much Love❤
thank you for the clear explanation. God bless you more
After watching several videos, I FINALLY get it. Thank you!
Great overview!
Beautiful explanation. Thank you
explained in fantastic manner. Thank you very muc.

thank you so much !!
Excellent video, thank you
This was beautiful
Very clear explanation. Thank u😊
it would be interesting to listen more about the genetics of ALS as there are many genes involved in the disease, concepts of mendelian, oligogenic, penetrance...

Living with ALS has been a lifelong journey for me. I tried numerous methods and therapies, and there were moments when I almost gave up hope. However, after discovering the herbal medicine from Dr.ubarlo, my life took an unexpected turn. In just 5 months,
This is a best video I watched cleared my understandings of ALS. How could I contact you for more help and guidance.
Trying to like… no option. You are awesome.
It was good and useful. But I think you had a tiny mistake in distinguishing upper motor neurons from lower motor neurons. You said "lower motor neurons in brainstem and spinal cord", while all neurons in these areas are upper motor neurons. Thanks though, it was pretty useful and clear❤
Very simple but elaborate explanation of the pathophysiology. I am a surgeon myself and is a patient of ALS. I found it to be very useful.

Hi. I want to clarify something. How does the glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity is connected to the mutant protein aggregation? Thank you.

there's no relationship, the protein aggregation and amyloidosis is key in ALS but the glutamate theory is bullshit.
thank you sir, your videos are always great !
So that diet the neuropathologist made when she was diagnosed to MS would it not be an effective treatment here? The mylon sheathes were her focus on repairing through diet and she was successful. Why wouldn’t it be successful here around the body instead of the brain.
I don't suppose you have rough estimates of percentages of apoptosis vs. ferroptosis cell deaths. I haven't seen any such numbers yet in published studies. Also curious about the noxious chemicals- are these cytokines, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, or something else?

@@Leonardo-cu7fd I hadn't heard of cytokines referred to as 'noxious chemicals' before. Some are useful in chemotaxis, but in this instance they are harmful. The glutamate at the NMJ is problematic. About 4% of what shoots across isn't acetylcholine, but calcium. Accumulation causes other problems. There's a LOT going on in ALS that would take many videos to explain. Thanks.

@@penguinshoes7928 Exactly. I am currently writing a paper on ALS where I try to summarize its whole pathophysiology and potential treatment with AMX0035. There really is a lot going on in ALS. This makes this disease so tricky.
Sadly there are important parts missing in this picture, especially the toxic effects of dietary sugar/fructose on brain metabolism and the effects of insulin resistance on the neurotrasmitter-balance...
What about ALS reversal?
Are the mechanisms of 1) glutamate-mediated excitoxicity and 2) mutant protein aggregation to prions both happening in ALS, or is it one or the another that causes 3) inflammation/release of damaging chemicals?

My young athletic son died of MND. He was very fit and had been using a muscle building shake to build body muscle. I am convinced that his illness was caused by Maximuscle I have tried to have a dialogue with Glaxo Smith Kline regarding this but they have dismissed my concerns. The product is high Glutamate and high protein and I think his body couldn’t recycle sufficiently. I am not a scientist just a heart broken mother. Could you help my cause please. Or at least give some expert thought to my suggestion. Thank you. Christine Mon 27th Feb 2023. 10.24 am UK

You're right, he died because of the supplement, this disease is common in athletes, Lou Gehrig died the same way, by using anabolics steroids, the explanation of the etiology of ALS in this video is wrong, is not the glutamate is LDL (bad cholesterol), the whole explanation is long, so I cannot delve on the topic in this comment.

@@eliasdegele6785have you got any vids on this disease, sounds a bit far fetched but I have suspicions I may have it. Due to having shit memory when I’ve always had a sharp memory which has lasted for the last 2 years getting worse, muscle twitching which only started in some body parts now it’s all over and in my tongue, noticing muscle weakness & loss in one leg and one hand, always tired asf! Feels like I’m slurring when I speak for too long, overall muscle fatigue and my postures getting shit sloooowly. Tried to see a Dr about it but here in Nz they’re trash and what’s funny is Als/Mnd has the highest rate here in Nz for frick knows why?
Plz help me my age is 36
