Scientists encouraged by new mouse model's similarities to human ALS
A new mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) closely resembles humans with the paralyzing disorder, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report. view more (2009-10-13)
UCSF study points to link to neurodegenerative disease target
The findings are relevant for ongoing research in identifying causes and developing treatments for neuromuscular neurodegenerative diseases in humans, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. view more (2005-09-02)
Gene therapy with growth factor seems promising therapy for incurable muscle disorder ALS
ALS is an incurable paralysing muscle disorder affecting five in every one hundred thousand people. The disease mainly strikes healthy people in the most active period of their life, without any warning or family history. Researchers from VIB (the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology), lead by Prof. Peter Carmeliet (K.U.Leuven)... view more... (2004-05-27)
May: Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month -- latest research is good news
May is Multiple Sclerosis Month and there is no better way of raising awareness for this unpredictable and often debilitating disease then by highlighting the latest research that might offer hope for the 55 to 75, 000 sufferers across Canada. view more (2007-05-03)
New study of gene evolution could lead to better understanding of neurodegenerative disease
Genetic evolution is strongly shaped by genes' efforts to prevent or tolerate errors in the production of proteins, scientists at The University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University have found. view more (2008-07-25)
Geisinger scientist seeks cure for Lou Gehrig's disease, creating device to find treatment
A small tropical fish, the curiosity of a Geisinger research scientist and some college students have created the perfect storm of sorts in an attempt to find a cure for one of the world's most devastating neurological diseases. view more (2007-07-31)
Scientists find a common link of bird flocks, breast milk and trust
What do flocks of birds have in common with trust, monogamy, and even breast milk? view more (2009-08-14)
Receptor critical in neurodegeneration reduces Alzheimer's plaque
Increasing the level of a protein that plays a key role in traumatic spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis reduces the concentration of disease-causing plaque in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-02-03)
Researchers Uncover a Novel Mechanism of Action of a Potential New Drug for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have identified a unique mechanism of action of a new drug that shows great promise for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. view more (2006-10-12)
Majority of ALS patients are not depressed
Contrary to what you might think, most people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are not depressed. They are also not more likely to get depressed as the end of life approaches, and they are not more likely to be depressed if they want to die or hasten their own death. view more (2005-07-12)
Men with multiple sclerosis pass disease to offspring more often than women
According to a new study, men transmit multiple sclerosis (MS) to their children 2.2 times more often than women in families where the father or mother and a child have multiple sclerosis. view more (2006-07-25)
Oral contraceptives associated with reduced risk of multiple sclerosis
Over a three-year period, the risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) was reduced in women taking oral contraceptives, according to a study in the September issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2005-09-13)
New MRI finding sheds light on multiple sclerosis disease progression
Using magnetic resonance (MR) images of the brain, researchers have identified a new abnormality related to disease progression and disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study published in the August issue of Radiology. view more (2007-08-28)
Researchers uncover mechanism of action of antibiotic able to reduce neuronal cell death in brain
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have discovered how an antibiotic works to modulate the activity of a neurotransmitter that regulates brain functions, which eventually could lead to therapies to treat Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, epilepsy, stroke, dementia and malignant gliomas. view more (2008-05-12)
Schizophrenia gene's role may be broader, more potent, than thought
UCSF scientists studying nerve cells in fruit flies have uncovered a new function for a gene whose human equivalent may play a critical role in schizophrenia. view more (2009-11-20)
Loss of gene leads to protein splicing and buildup of toxic proteins in neurons
Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville have discovered how loss of a gene can lead to accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain, resulting in a common dementia, and they say this mechanism may be important in a number of age-related neurological disorders. view more (2007-09-28)
Overexcited neurons not good for cell health
Neurotransmitters have consequences. They initiate events that are critical to a healthy life, giving us the ability to move, to talk, to breathe, to think. But that's if the neurotransmitters are getting it right and sending proper signals downstream to muscle cells, neurons or other cells. view more (2007-12-18)
A step towards unraveling the genetic pathways of left-right body asymmetry
Researchers at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ci'™ncia (IGC), in Portugal, have taken a major step forward in understanding one of the fundamental questions in the field of developmental biology today: how the organs are placed in their correct positions in the body. In a study published in the 1st October issue of the journal Genes and... view more... (2004-10-12)
Blockade of fat hormone helps halt and heal multiple sclerosis
Italian researchers have found that blockade of the hormone leptin, which is primarily produced in fats cells, has beneficial effects on the induction and progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice - the animal model of human multiple sclerosis (MS). view more (2006-01-13)
Another hope for multiple sclerosis patients. Improved Interferon-beta patent recently granted by
Blurred vision, weak limbs, tingling sensations, unsteadiness and fa-tigue are the symptoms of one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system, the multiple sclerosis (MS). It is estimated that MS currently affects over 2,500,000 people worldwide. There is new hope for MS patients: The protein Interferon-beta, which is produced in... view more... (2003-08-06)
