(SALT LAKE CITY)—A new study by researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine sheds light on a longstanding question about the role of mitochondria in debilitating and fatal motor neuron ...
Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
A new genetic discovery adds weight to a theory that motor neurone degenerative diseases are caused by abnormal lipid (fat) processing pathways inside brain cells. This theory will help pave the way ...
A research group from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine and the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University uncovered, for the first time, the biological mechanism causing nerve destruction in ...
Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...

New blood test can spot deadly motor neurone disease with 100 per cent accuracy - would you take it?
The test was developed by researchers at the US-based not-for-profit Brain Chemistry Labs, who analysed 788 blood samples – roughly half from patients with the disease and half from people without it.
