There is research that has been conducted that has however‚ lead some scientist to believe that it could be linked to genetics‚ chemical imbalances‚ disorganized immune response‚ or even mishandling of proteins. ALS affects homeostasis by causing motor neurons that are found in the spinal cord and brain to start to degenerate and die off. This causes signals to the muscles to "turn off" and the muscles become un-operable causing weakening which results in the muscle
