Newco Vesalic Ltd. has formed to take forward research indicating extracellular vesicles secreted by skeletal muscle cells carry toxic payloads that are key drivers of motor neuron diseases, including ...

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

Developing motor neurons from stem cells taken directly from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients offers new hope for better understanding and treatment of the fatal neurodegenerative disorder ...

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, for 55 years. He was one of the longest-surviving people with the condition.

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

Even at relatively low pollution levels, chronic exposure to fine particles and nitrogen dioxide was linked to higher disease risk, faster functional decline, and greater need for invasive ventilation ...

AI-generated voice clones are bringing back the voices of people with MND, allowing some to communicate, connect, and even perform comedy routines. Jules Rodriguez lost his voice in October of last ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...
