ALS is a debilitating paralytic disease characterized as the death of upper and lower motor neurons. Fortunately, ALS is relatively rare, with an incidence rate of 1.6 per 100,000 adults, resulting in ...

Researchers with NIH say they’ve found proteins in blood that accurately detect ALS long before symptoms emerge. The study findings could help with early detection, definitive testing, and tracking ...

New research by UCLA Health has found a simple blood test could provide faster and more accurate diagnosis of ALS by measuring cell-free DNA. While more study is needed, researchers say the ...

A new study by a research team comprising experts from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and the University of Yale has demonstrated that the early signs of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can be ...

A blood test can help doctors detect ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and predict how the degenerative disease will progress in patients, a new study suggests. People with ALS have three times ...

MONTPELLIER, France — French researchers have identified a blood test that could revolutionize how amyotrophic lateral ...

Researchers have demonstrated that measuring neurofilaments provides reliable confirmation of an ALS diagnosis. This diagnostic test represents a significant step forward because valuable time is ...
