The abstract identifies both glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity and oxidative stress as key pathogenic mechanisms in ALS, but the specific molecular crosstalk between these pathways remains unclear. Understanding this interaction is critical for developing combination therapies that target both processes synergistically.
