The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, ...

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

A recent large study conducted in Sweden has found that long-term exposure to elevated levels of air pollution may increase ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

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, ...

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 ...

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, ...

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.

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

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

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

A new study from Sweden links long-term air pollution exposure to higher risk of motor neurone disease and faster progression ...
