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

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 ...

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

“This is a well performed study indicating an association between long-term exposure to higher air pollution levels and a small, but notable, increased risk of developing MND, as well as faster ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

But his life changed dramatically with the onset of motor neurone disease (MND). He now uses a wheelchair and is cared for by his wife, Lindsey. Now, he's has launched podcast where he showcases ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – October 29, 2025) Motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), share physical similarities but have been largely viewed ...

Despite the pivotal role of motor neurons in movement, how a single motor neuron contributes to control during movement remains unclear. Measuring the activity of individual neurons in moving animals ...

A teenager with motor neurone disease has been denied access to a 'miracle drug' which slows the decline caused by the condition. Lillia Jakeman was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) in ...

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