The cause of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease that causes paralysis, is currently unknown. Recent research suggests that neuron-supporting cells of the brain called Glial Cells or Glia may play an important role in understanding ALS. This video explores current perspectives about the role that some glial cells play in ALS progression. • This video was made by Nicole Liu, Zoe Mackintosh, Aaron Hayat, Leena AlShenaiber. • Subscribe to the McMaster Demystifying Medicine YouTube channel: / demystifyingmedicine • This video is provided for general and educational information only.
