Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

Adopting some of the strategies behind successfully treating the childhood disease spinal muscular atrophy may enable development of therapies to curb the muscle decline that accompanies aging, new ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...

A look at Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), focusing on motor neuron degeneration, sporadic versus familial ...

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI ...

An artist was diagnosed with motor neuron disease (MND) – after his leg started to “lag behind” when walking. Steven Hart, 60 ...

Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system. MIT engineers have now found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual ...

A dad-of-three has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease aged just 39 – after losing grip in his left hand. Ryan Horsfall ...

Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a motor neuron disease variation of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) but far more rare. PLS refers to patients who seem to have disruptions with only upper motor ...
