Abstract

Despite the beneficial effects of minocycline seen in animal models of ALS, initial clinical trials of minocycline in ALS patients failed to support its expected therapeutic usefulness. Here we discuss new results from recent preclinical studies of the molecular neuronal effects of minocycline pertinent for better understanding of the therapeutic potential of this antibiotic.
