This study suggests that gene therapy either with Bcl-2 or with another gene capable of preventing cell death could help delay the onset of ALS. The finding could also lead to the development of drugs that mimic proteins produced by Bcl-2 or other protective genes. ALS is a terrible debilitating disease that we are only beginning to understand, and hopefully with new genetic technology we can find a cure.
