Discovery May Lead to New Treatment for ALS
July 18, 2012 — Researchers have discovered that TDP-43, a protein strongly linked to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and other neurodegnerative diseases, appears to activate a variety of different molecular ... > full story -
Disruption of Cytoskeleton Pathways Contribute to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Pathogenesis
July 15, 2012 — A new genetic mutation that causes familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurological disorder also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, has been identified. Mutations to the profilin gene, ... > full story -
'Insulating' Brain Cells Appear to Play a Critical Role in Brain Cell Survival and May Contribute to Neurodegenerative Diseases Such as ALS
July 11, 2012 — Researchers say they have discovered that the central nervous system’s oligodendroglia cells, long believed to simply insulate nerves as they “fire” signals, are unexpectedly also ... > full story -

ALS Clinics Start Implanting Breathing-Assist Device Under New FDA Approval
May 2, 2012 — Three U.S. hospitals have begun implanting a device that stimulates the respiratory muscle in the chest and draws air into the lungs of patients suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou ... > full story -
Neurotoxins in Shark Fins: A Human Health Concern
February 23, 2012 — Sharks are among the most threatened of marine species worldwide due to unsustainable overfishing. They are primarily killed for their fins to fuel the growing demand for shark fin soup, which is an ... > full story -
