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 -
