A funding boost of more than £78 million will help UCL scientists working to develop a potential treatment for motor neurone disease, for which there is currently no cure and which affects 5,000 ...

These observations open the door to more in-depth investigations looking into a potential mechanistic link between TMEM106b aggregation and pathological processes in neurodegeneration,” Rothstein ...

Using sequencing techniques, researchers associated 51 mutations in mitochondrial DNA with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable degenerative neurological disorder that leads to muscle ...

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).

Lady Sarra Hoy, the wife of Olympian Sir Chris Hoy, has revealed she has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The ambassador for neonatal charity Bliss broke the news as her husband said ...

The significance of the findings was then further confirmed via muscle biopsy in older adults, where the gene was found to be highly expressed. The researchers also discovered several potential ...
