Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal upper and lower motor neuron degradation disease that leads to progressive myofiber abnormalities (e.g. decreased size and distribution). With recently FDA-cleared treatments, it is critical to identify non-invasive biomarkers of early disease onset, progression and therapy response. In this study, we validate the potential of a recently developed MR Cytography approach to detect myofiber microstructural changes in an ALS mouse model over three time points by comparison to relevant histologic markers.
