  "textContent": "Higher levels of blood lactate may be the key to a longer life for people with the neurodegenerative condition ALS, new research suggests. A study at The University of Queensland and Japan's Shiga University of Medical Science has revealed blood lactate is a key biomarker that can predict physical outcomes and prognosis in patients with ALS. The research was published in the Annals of Neurology.",
