Identification of Abnormal Protein May Help Diagnose, Treat ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia
February 12, 2013 — Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are devastating neurodegenerative diseases with no effective treatment. Researchers are beginning to ... > full story -
Eating Bright-Colored Fruits and Vegetables May Prevent or Delay Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
January 29, 2013 — New research suggests that increased consumption of foods containing colorful carotenoids, particularly beta-carotene and lutein, may prevent or delay the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ... > full story -
One Form of Neuron Turned Into Another in Brain
January 20, 2013 — A new finding by stem cell biologists turns one of the basics of neurobiology on its head -- demonstrating that it is possible to turn one type of already differentiated neuron into another within ... > full story -
New Genetic Mutation for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Identified
January 15, 2013 — Researchers have identified a new genetic mutation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), opening the door to future targeted therapies. Medical researchers found that mutations within the ARHGEF28 ... > full story -
Stem Cells May Hold Promise for Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS)
January 9, 2013 — Apparent stem cell transplant success in mice may hold promise for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, according to results of a new ... > full story -

Discovery Provides Therapeutic Target for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
December 19, 2012 — Researchers have found that the ability of a protein made by a gene called FUS to bind to RNA is essential to the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This discovery identifies a ... > full story -
Transplanted Neural Stem Cells Treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in Mouse Model
December 19, 2012 — Transplanting neural stem cells into an ALS mouse model slows disease progression and prolongs survival. The transplanted neural stem cells changed the host environment for the better and protected ... > full story -
