摘要：

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive age-dependent disease involving degeneration of motor neurons in the brain, brainstem and spinal cord. ALS is universally fatal, with the median survival of patients being five years from diagnosis. In a transgenic mouse model of ALS, we now show that a dominant negative inhibitor of a cell-death gene, the interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE), significantly slows the symptomatic progression of ALS.
