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).

QRL-101, an oral small molecule being developed by QurAlis, was safe and reduced nerve-cell overactivity in ALS patients in ...

Most cell surface proteins did not. But 16 did, including two found in the human dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra, a ...

A supplement costing mere pennies per pill on the High Street could help protect people from debilitating dementia and motor ...

The test was developed by researchers at the US-based not-for-profit Brain Chemistry Labs, who analysed 788 blood samples – roughly half from patients with the disease and half from people without it.

A new medicine, discovered by scientists, protects nerve cells damaged by motor neurone disease (MND), offering hope of substantially slowing the progression of "one of the cruellest diseases".

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is among the most challenging neurological disorders: relentlessly progressive, universally fatal, and without a cure even after more than a century and a half ...

Highly degradative (dark) cells in the spinal cord were identified as motor neurons. [Kazuhide Asakawa, National Institute of Genetics] A defining feature of neurodegenerative disorders is selective ...
