Patient specific stem cell-derived motor neurons stained for the neuronal marker III-Tubulin (green) and the ALS-implicated protein TDP-43 (magenta). In this study, the authors determined that TDP-43...

The neurodegenerative disease ALS causes motor neuron death and paralysis. However, long before the cells die, they lose contact with the muscles as their axons atrophy. Researchers at Karolinska...

A new study from Crick researchers shows that collaboration can be easy when you are part of a culture that supports it. We caught up with the scientists involved to find out how working...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease that lacks effective treatment option. Researchers at Genervon Biopharmaceuticals hypothesized that the traditional single-target approach to treat neurodegenerative...

The ALS Research Forum – A new genomic resource may help researchers unravel the role of key RNA-binding proteins in ALS. The atlas, developed at the Riken Institute in Yokohama, Japan, contains 27,919 long non-coding RNAs – including 19,175 potentially ...

An increasing body of evidence suggests an important role of the human microbiome in health and disease. Researchers at UCLA have developed a ‘lost and found’ pipeline, which examines high quality unmapped sequence reads for microbial taxonomic classification. Using this ...

Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine Massive elimination of neurons is a critical aspect of normal nervous system development but also represents a defining feature of neurodegenerative pathologies, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ...
