Researchers from Oregon Health and Science University presented data from a study that aimed to identify and validate potential new therapeutic targets for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Systems immunology analysis utilizing mass cytometry (CyTOF) was used to assess α5 integrin expression in 78,293 single cells, including 21,250 CD45+/CD11b+ myeloid cells from CNS of superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD) G93A mouse model of ALS (SOD1G93A).
