June 1, 2021 The network connection between nerve cells in the spinal cord seems to play a critical role in the development of the severe disease ALS, a new study suggests. The study, which is based on a mouse ...
Dec. 2, 2021 The brain is indeed a target for treating ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), scientists have discovered. This flips a long-standing belief the disease starts in the spinal motor neurons and any ...
Feb. 17, 2022 Motor neurons play a vital role in movement, linking the central nervous system with different muscles in the body. A new study has uncovered details about the process through which motor neurons ...
Aug. 18, 2023 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a widespread neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of neurons that control movement. Although abnormal accumulation of proteins called TDP-43 accompanies ...
Apr. 22, 2021 Spinal cord nerve cells branching through the body resemble trees with limbs fanning out in every direction. But this image can also be used to tell the story of how these neurons, their jobs ...
June 21, 2022 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease of the nervous system. It affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord called motor neurons. Motor neurons control muscle movement and ...
Jan. 10, 2024 In people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), changes in neurons appear to activate immune cells. Lowering the inflammation could reduce the symptoms of the disease, according to a new ...
May 18, 2022 New preclinical research on the experimental drug, NU-9, to treat ALS shows it is more effective than existing FDA-approved drugs for the disease. More importantly, NU-9 has an enhanced effect when ...
Sep. 20, 2022 In a new study, researchers show that weekly treatments with an epigenetic activator can aid the regrowth of sensory and motor neurons in the spinal cord when given to mice 12 weeks after severe ...
Nov. 3, 2022 A new collaborative study shows how blood vessel genes play a critical role in motor neuron development by telling blood vessels to get out of the way. The discovery has implications for ...
