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).

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 ...

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 ...

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

A former Glasgow lecturer says he refuses to be defined by motor neuron disease after first spotting subtle changes in his ...

Former England rugby captain Lewis Moody has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND). The 47-year-old flanker, who won several titles throughout his 16-year career, discovered he had the ...

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

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 ...

Standard MRI scans of a person’s tongue could assist in the early detection and ongoing monitoring of Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Research led by Dr Thomas Shaw from The University of Queensland’s ...
