Motor neuron disease (MND), often referred to by the name of one of its varieties, ALS, is a degenerative condition that ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

A new electrical stimulation therapy for spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) has shown promise in reactivating motor neurons and ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research suggests that electrical spinal cord stimulation could improve muscle function for patients who have spinal ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

MPs and campaigners say that people suffering from Motor Neurone Disease or Parkinson’s should have greater access to an ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

A new spinal cord implant may help people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) regain some muscle function, giving them ...
