Air pollution was associated with risk for developing motor neuron disease such as ALS and likely contributes to an accelerated disease course following a diagnosis for individuals in Sweden, ...

ALS is a debilitating paralytic disease characterized as the death of upper and lower motor neurons. Fortunately, ALS is relatively rare, with an incidence rate of 1.6 per 100,000 adults, resulting in ...

A recent large study conducted in Sweden has found that long-term exposure to elevated levels of air pollution may increase the risk for the development of motor neuron disease (MND), as well as ...

Long-term air pollution exposure is linked to higher risk, faster progression, and increased mortality in motor neuron ...

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

Long-term exposure to air pollution could increase a person’s risk of developing motor neurone disease and accelerate its ...

Developing motor neurons from stem cells taken directly from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients offers new hope for better understanding and treatment of the fatal neurodegenerative disorder ...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS, is the most common type, accounting for up to 90% of cases. Long-term exposure to air ...

Prolonged exposure to air pollution can be linked to an elevated risk for serious neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and ...

Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are neurodegenerative diseases. PLS typically develops slowly, while ALS rapidly affects mobility and can become fatal.
