Observational analysis reveals strong links between BCL2 proteins and neuroinflammation in ALS, suggesting new therapeutic targets.

Blocking BCL2 activity significantly reduced neurodegeneration by 5-fold in mouse models of ALS.
The expression of BCL2 family proteins was notably higher in ALS tissues, co-localizing with p-TDP-43 protein.
Inhibition of BCL2 using venetoclax led to prevention of clinical motor neuron dysfunction in ALS mice.
Findings point to a crucial role of BCL2 family proteins in the pathophysiology of ALS and potential interventions.

Nuovo et al. (2025) studied this question.
