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).

These findings are important as they show that affected muscles in an ALS mouse model remain receptive to reinnervation by healthy engrafted motor neurons, even until the late stages of the disease.

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

QRL-101, an oral small molecule being developed by QurAlis, was safe and reduced nerve-cell overactivity in ALS patients in ...

Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system. MIT engineers have now found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual ...

Scientists have so far identified around 800 different neuromuscular diseases. These conditions are caused by problems in the way muscle cells, motor neurons and peripheral cells interact. These ...
