A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, for 55 years. He was one of the longest-surviving people with the condition.

A large, multidisciplinary team led by researchers from Texas A&M University has made a potentially game-changing discovery ...

Air pollution was associated with risk for developing motor neuron disease such as ALS and likely contributes to an ...

A low uptake of New Zealanders with motor neurone disease are using the only publicly funded treatment available for the ...

A large, multidisciplinary team led by researchers from Texas A&M University has made a potentially game-changing discovery about the development of devastating motor neuron diseases like amyotrophic ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal ...

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a devastating condition that causes progressive muscle weakness by damaging the motor neurones, the nerve cells that connect the brain to muscles. These neurones allow ...

Explore groundbreaking research on ALS and how a specific mouse strain could change its study and treatment forever.

Air pollution is associated with an increased risk for developing motor neuron disease and disease progression after diagnosis.
