Increased peripheral blood inflammatory cytokine levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a meta-analysis study

Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with poorly understood etiology. Increasing evidence suggest that inflammation may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of ALS. Several studies have demonstrated altered levels of blood cytokines in ALS, but result...
