A study suggests overactive VCP may contribute to ALS nerve damage by disrupting nuclear pore proteins in genetic ALS.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a serious and usually fatal neurodegenerative disorder in which motor neurons deteriorate and die. The disease causes a loss of movement that eventually affects ...

The CRISPR gene editing tool has been revolionary for the research lab, and it has also been used to transform the lives of a handful of patients of a few genetic diseases. Now scientists have used ...

A prominent Canadian neurologist says he has found a safe way to stimulate the growth of bone marrow stem cells, which he hopes could prove an effective therapy for ALS. He says that stimulating stem ...

Schizophrenia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) share a genetic origin, according to results of a genome-wide association study by an international group of researchers. Investigators found ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and eventually death. While ...

When Mindy Uhrlaub got tested to see if she was a carrier of the fatal mutation that causes the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) her mom had, her neurogeneticist at Stanford told her that if she ...

The EMA is the second regulatory agency to accept review of a marketing application for tofersen following U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acceptance earlier this year. The FDA has set a PDUFA ...
