VEGF is a modifier of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in mice and humans and protects motoneurons against ischemic death

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable degenerative disorder of motoneurons. We recently reported that reduced expression of Vegfa causes ALS-like motoneuron degeneration in Vegfa δ/δ mice. In a meta-analysis of over 900 individuals from Sweden and over 1,000 individuals from Belgium an...
