A study suggests overactive VCP may contribute to ALS nerve damage by disrupting nuclear pore proteins in genetic ALS.

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of proteins. Proteins are synthesized both inside cells (i.e., in the soma) and locally along axons,

“MAID gave me the freedom to determine my own fate,” said Jeremy Boal

A recent large study conducted in Sweden has found that long-term exposure to elevated levels of air pollution may increase the risk for the development of motor neuron disease (MND), as well as potentially increasing the rate of progression after diagnosis of MND.

The 53-year-old actor revealed in April 2025 that he had been diagnosed with ALS

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time treatment.
