Air pollution is associated with an increased risk for developing motor neuron disease and disease progression after diagnosis.

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Air pollution was associated with risk for developing motor neuron disease such as ALS and likely contributes to an accelerated disease course following a diagnosis for individuals in Sweden, ...

Long-term air pollution exposure is linked to higher risk, faster progression, and increased mortality in motor neuron ...

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, ...

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.

By Vijay Kumar Malesu Even at relatively low pollution levels, chronic exposure to fine particles and nitrogen dioxide was ...

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). The study, ...

Neale Daniher’s legacy of doggedly raising awareness and funding research to find a cure for motor neurone disease will on Thursday be honoured with a multimillion-dollar federal government investment ...

In a poignant farewell address delivered via video, Neale Daniher, the 2025 Australian of the Year, made a heartfelt plea for sustained action against motor neurone disease (MND). Despite his ...

A new study from Sweden links long-term air pollution exposure to higher risk of motor neurone disease and faster progression ...
