Why some elite athletes face higher risk of developing motor neuron disease—and what we're doing about it
Motor neuron disease (MND) is a devastating condition that causes progressive muscle weakness by damaging the motor neurons, the nerve cells that connect the brain to muscles. These neurons allow us ...
Scottish rugby international Doddie Weir has died at the age of 52 after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) in December 2016. Weir was among several players diagnosed with the ...
Researchers identify five specific neuron subgroups in the motor cortex most vulnerable to TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia.
A new medicine, discovered by scientists, protects nerve cells damaged by motor neurone disease (MND), offering hope of substantially slowing the progression of "one of the cruellest diseases".
Former England rugby captain Lewis Moody has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND). The 47-year-old flanker, who won several titles throughout his 16-year career, discovered he had the ...
Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a motor neuron disease variation of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) but far more rare. PLS refers to patients who seem to have disruptions with only upper motor ...
Standard MRI scans of a person’s tongue could assist in the early detection and ongoing monitoring of Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Research led by Dr Thomas Shaw from The University of Queensland’s ...
