Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to neuronal death in the brain and spinal cord. Over the last decades, evidence has emerged regarding the functional diversity of astrocytes, microglia, and T cells in the central nervous system (CNS), and the role of neuroinflammation in ALS. In this review, we summarize current knowledge regarding neuroinflammation in ALS, both at the level of specific molecular pathways and potential cellular pathways as well as outline questions about the immune mechanisms involved in ALS pathogenesis.Entities:
