Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...
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 ...
The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, ...
Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...
A recent large study conducted in Sweden has found that long-term exposure to elevated levels of air pollution may increase ...
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 ...
A large, multidisciplinary team led by researchers from Texas A&M University has made a potentially game-changing discovery ...
