Human-Cell-Derived Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Provides a New Way to Study the Majority of Cases
August 11, 2011 — For decades, scientists have studied a laboratory mouse model that develops signs of the paralyzing disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) as they age. Researchers have now developed a new model ... > full story -
Scientists Solve Mystery of Nerve Disease Genes; Findings May Lead to New Therapies for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease and Other Conditions
July 4, 2011 — For several years, scientists have been pondering a question about a genetic disease called Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease type 2D: how can different types of mutations, spread out across a gene, ... > full story -

Stem Cell Model Offers Clues to Cause of Inherited ALS
June 21, 2011 — Scientists have used induced pluripotent stem cells derived from patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to reveal for the first time how reduced levels of a specific protein may play a ... > full story -
Mild Obesity Appears to Improve Survival in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients
May 11, 2011 — Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, may be an exception to the rule that being overweight is a health hazard. In a retrospective study of over 400 ... > full story -
Strides Made in Understanding Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
April 26, 2011 — Researchers have made a significant advance in the effort to understand amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by successfully reversing the toxicity of the mutated protein in the familial type of the ... > full story -
Studies of Mutated Protein in Lou Gehrig’s Disease Reveal New Paths for Drug Discovery
April 26, 2011 — Several genes have been linked to ALS, with one of the most recent called FUS. Two new studies examined FUS biology in yeast and found that defects in RNA biology may be central to how FUS ... > full story -
