Experiment #00000131

Premise: Environmental metals, though present in many Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis anomalous clusters, are debated regarding causality within geographic epistemological data. Hypothesis: If plant derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) aerosolized with environmental metals, they could potentially bypass the blood brain barrier via the cribriform plate area. Given this potential method of delivery, environmental metals cannot be ruled out as causal in sporadic ALS until PDEV delivery of the metals is tested in wet lab experiments, but may potentially explain the confounding data.

Environmental plant-derived extracellular vesicles (such as those from pollen or agricultural dust) may act as stealth vectors via nasal-olfactory pathways, potentially delivering environmental toxins or pathogenic RNAs that bypass the BBB and trigger neurodegenerative pathologies, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
