How HIV Research Shaped New ALS Drug Development
Original: How HIV Inspired Drug Development for ALS
Researchers are drawing on decades of HIV drug development to advance treatments for ALS, the progressive motor neurone disease. Lessons from antiretroviral therapy, including how drugs cross into the nervous system and target disease mechanisms, are informing new approaches to slowing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, for which treatment options remain severely limited.
Why now: Cross-application of HIV drug research to ALS offers hope for progress against a disease with few effective treatments.
