Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Adopting some of the strategies behind successfully treating the childhood disease spinal muscular atrophy may enable development of therapies to curb the muscle decline that accompanies aging, new ...

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

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

A new genetic discovery adds weight to a theory that motor neuron degenerative diseases are caused by abnormal lipid (fat) processing pathways inside brain cells. This theory will help pave the way to ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neurological disorder that involves the death of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This, over time, leads to the brain losing its ability ...

Working out your muscles may help heal your nerves after injury, by encouraging those neurons to grow faster. In a new study of mouse cells, scientists found that both the biochemical and mechanical ...
