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 ...

Air pollution was associated with risk for developing motor neuron disease such as ALS and likely contributes to an ...

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

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Air pollution is associated with an increased risk for developing motor neuron disease and disease progression after diagnosis.

Long-term air pollution exposure is linked to higher risk, faster progression, and increased mortality in motor neuron ...

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is among the most challenging neurological disorders: relentlessly progressive, universally fatal, and without a cure even after more than a century and a half ...

Motor neurons are some of the largest cells in the human body. In particular, upper neurons—extending from the cerebral cortex to the brain stem or spinal cord—average 60μm in diameter. 3,4 These ...

Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron ...

Greater long-term air pollution exposure was associated with a higher risk of motor neuron disease. Higher levels of ...
