Muscle biopsy is a minor surgical procedure that involves making an incision in the skin to obtain a few small pieces of the underlying muscle for detailed histologic, histochemical, or biochemical ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the motor system, resulting in progressive muscle weakness and — ultimately — death. The disease ...

A nerve biopsy involves the process of removing a small length of a peripheral nerve for histologic examination under the microscope. Several nerves can be biopsied but the major requirement for ...

Using a cutting-edge genomic technique, the team identified specific HERV expression signatures linked to multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as motor neurone disease).

Approximately 5,000 people in the U.S. develop amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) each year. On average, they survive for only two to five years after being diagnosed, according to the Centers ...

Hawking authored numerous books throughout his career and gave guest lectures around the world despite being paralyzed from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s ...
