Dr Sophie Burling used her doctoral research to create a new patient-specific model of motor neurone disease, laying the ...

Our movements are controlled by multiple neural pathways that connect the brain and spinal cord. In particular, neurons in the cerebral cortex send commands to the motor neurons in the spinal cord and ...

Using stem cells from patients with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Cedars-Sinai has created a lifelike model of the mysterious and fatal disease that could help identify a cause of the illness ...

Researchers have mapped out the proteins implicated in the early stages of motor neurone disease (MND). They have developed a longitudinal map of the proteins involved in MND across the trajectory of ...

Researchers are engineering a new class of miniature antibodies, called intrabodies, that can operate inside living cells to ...

Research at The University of Queensland could eventually help develop viable treatments - and ultimately a cure - for motor neuron disease (MND). Dr Adam Walker and co-authors Dr Rebecca San Gil, Dr ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS).

The extracellular signals and transcription factors involved in motor neuron (MN) development have been identified, but it remains to be seen if these developmental insights can be employed to direct ...

Niigata, Japan – our movements are controlled by multiple neural pathways that connect the brain and spinal cord. In particular, neurons in the cerebral cortex send commands to the motor neurons in ...
