Foire aux questions
How are ALS mouse models used in preclinical research?
ALS mouse models are essential tools for evaluating the efficacy of potential therapeutics before they advance to clinical trials. Briefly, following lead compound identification, promising candidates typically undergo in vitro testing to evaluate and confirm their mechanism of action, potency, target engagement, and potential off-target effects.
Compounds that demonstrate favourable activity in vitro then typically progress onto in vivo studies, where the tolerability, efficacy, and safety of the compounds are further evaluated. In vivo studies typically involve transgenic mouse models that carry mutations that have been previously linked to be causative of human ALS pathophysiology, such as the SOD1-G93A mouse model or the TDP-43Q331K mouse model. These models, combined with translational readouts, help reproduce key aspects of human ALS disease pathophysiology, making them highly relevant for preclinical efficacy studies.
In turn, preclinical efficacy studies in ALS mouse models provide you with critical translational data to help inform clinical trial design, optimize therapeutic dosing and administration routes, and de-risk your drug development pipeline.
As a preclinical neurology CRO specialized in multiple neurodegenerative disorders, including ALS, InnoSer frequently validates new disease models. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date with our preclinical ALS research.
What ALS mouse model should I choose for my research?
Choosing the right ALS mouse model depends on your research goals, target pathways, your compound’s mechanism of action (MoA), and therapeutic development strategy. For example, if your compound targets SOD1, one of the most common mutations, accounting for ~20% of familial ALS cases (5–10% of total ALS), the well-established and most frequently used SOD1-G93A may the most suitable model for your research.
InnoSer currently performs research in transgenic ALS mouse models focusing on different aspects of ALS disease pathophysiology, including the SOD1-G93A and TDP-43Q331K. While the majority of preclinical ALS studies have historically relied on SOD1-based models, translation to the clinic has been limited, and there are still no widely used models for other genetic subtypes of ALS (e.g., C9orf72, FUS, PFN1, or TBK1). To help address this need, at InnoSer, we frequently collaborate with our partners on the co-development and validation of novel, mutation-specific ALS models to enable more precise and translational preclinical testing.

How is motor unit degeneration assessed in preclinical ALS mouse models?
In preclinical ALS mouse models, motor unit degeneration can be evaluated using a combination of functional (behavioral), electrophysiological, and histological readouts.
One of the most translationally relevant methods to assess motor unit integrity is the nerve conduction study (NCS), an electromyography (EMG) tool used as a standard diagnostic and disease monitoring tool in ALS patients. In mice, electrophysiological recordings are performed on the sciatic nerve using needle electrodes. Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) measures the number and integrity of functional motor units, whereby a lower CMAP response indicates fewer functional motor units. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) measures the speed and nerve signal propagation, serving as a proxy marker for nerve myelination. Slower NCV indicates peripheral nerve damage.
Complementary assessments include behavioral assays (e.g., Rotarod, balance beam, CatWalk, and spontaneous behavior recorded via automated home-cage monitoring), which track progressive motor impairments.
Histological analyses (e.g., spinal cord motor neuron counts, neuromuscular junction integrity, and muscle fiber morphology) provide anatomical confirmation of functional decline.
