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

A small molecule known as 10H-phenothiazine reduced the loss of motor neurons, the nerve cells that are lost in SMA, in ...

Despite enormous progress in the past two decades, the intentional control of bionic prostheses remains a challenge and the subject of intensive research. Now, scientists at the Medical University of ...

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Two proteins found on the surface of motor neurons in the brain may be essential in the progression of Parkinson's disease, ...

A groundbreaking drug candidate found to protect nerve cells damaged by motor neuron disease (MND), could offer new hope to ...

A new medicine, discovered by scientists, protects nerve cells damaged by motor neurone disease (MND), offering hope of substantially slowing the progression of "one of the cruellest diseases".

Areflexic, or flaccid, bladder and bowels occur when the spinal cord injury is low enough to damage the cauda equina and alpha motor neurons. It also occurs in all spinal cord injury patients during ...
