A low uptake of New Zealanders with motor neurone disease are using the only publicly funded treatment available for the ...

Scientists have developed a blood test that can detect motor neurone disease in its earliest stages with 97 per cent accuracy - even before symptoms strike. The test was developed by researchers at ...

For the first time, researchers from the University of Queensland (UQ) have mapped out the proteins implicated in the early stages of motor neuron disease (MND). Dr. Rebecca San Gil from Associate ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

A new medicine, discovered by scientists, protects nerve cells damaged by motor neurone disease (MND), offering hope of substantially slowing the progression of "one of the cruellest diseases".

A funding boost of more than £78 million will help UCL scientists working to develop a potential treatment for motor neurone disease, for which there is currently no cure and which affects 5,000 ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

A new study from Sweden links long-term air pollution exposure to higher risk of motor neurone disease and faster progression ...

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, ...
