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 accelerated disease course following a diagnosis for individuals in Sweden, ...

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

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

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

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 ...
