Creation of a Bank of Fibroblast From Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Pilot Study (ALSCELL)

April 27, 2018 updated by: Institut Pasteur

Patients with ALS will be included in the reference center for ALS in hospital La Pitié Salpêtrière, Paris.

The study proposes to investigate the pathophysiology of ALS by setting up a fibroblast bank for studying molecular, cellular and genetic parameters of the pathology.

iPS (induced pluripotent stem cells) and then differentiated cells will be generated.

The pathophysiology of ALS will be studied on the 3 types of cells (fibroblasts, iPS, differentiated cells).
