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".

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).

Laboratories in space could ‘very likely’ find a cure for motor neurone disease which claimed the lives of Stephen Hawking and rugby legend Rob Burrow, experts believe. The unique conditions allow for ...

A funding boost of more than £78 million will help UCL scientists working to develop a potential treatment for motor neurone disease, for which there is currently no cure and which affects 5,000 ...

The test was developed by researchers at the US-based not-for-profit Brain Chemistry Labs, who analysed 788 blood samples – roughly half from patients with the disease and half from people without it.

Researchers have used a new technique to identify pathological abnormalities associated with motor neurone disease. Pathological abnormalities associated with motor neurone disease have been ...
