ALS is the most common form of Motor Neuron Disease (MND) in adults. An early hallmark of ALS is the breakdown of neuromuscular junctions—the connection between the end of a motor nerve and a ...
If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...
A drug that boosts strength in injured or aging mice restores connections between nerves and muscle and suggests ways to combat weakness in humans due to aging, injury or disease. A small molecule ...
Motor neurone disease (MND) is a devastating condition that causes progressive muscle weakness by damaging the motor neurones, the nerve cells that connect the brain to muscles. These neurones allow ...

In the current study, the team aimed to determine whether this strategy could be adapted to reinnervate and restore muscle function in a highly aggressive model of ALS. First, the team sought to ...
Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
