Desc	Research by the Institute and members of our global scientific consortium identified the amino acid L-serine as a potential drug candidate. The Institute has studied the potential of L-serine as a novel therapy for the treatment of ALS and other neurodegenerative illnesses through in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as FDA-approved human clinical trials. These experiments suggest that while L-serine at the doses studied cannot stop or reverse neurodegeneration associated with ALS, that L-serine may slow disease progression.	Desc
