Sporadic And Hereditary Lou Gehrig's Disease Dissimilar In Underlying Cause, According To Study
May 7, 2007 — Most research on Lou Gehrig's disease therapeutics has been based on the assumption that its two forms (sporadic and hereditary) are similar in their underlying cause. Now, researchers have found an ... > full story -
Damaged Motor Neurons In ALS Contribute To Their Own Death
April 23, 2007 — Researchers have discovered that when motor neurons damaged by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, inappropriately send the wrong signal, immune cells react by killing the ... > full story -
Stem Cells Provide New Tool For Studying Disease And Identifying ALS Drugs
April 16, 2007 — Results of two studies demonstrate that embryonic stem cells may provide a new tool for studying disease mechanisms and for identifying drugs to slow ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's ... > full story -
