ALS

Though exceedingly rare, some people diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) partially or fully recover from the lethal neurodegenerative disease. A better understanding of this baffling phenomenon, reported in medical literature for at least 60 years, could point to potential new treatment approaches. To that end, researchers launched a study of ALS recovery patients and

The study provides the basis for a phase I clinical trial in additional participants. Immune system dysregulation and elevated inflammation contribute to the development of the fatal neurodegenerative condition amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. In new research published in The FASEB Journal, repeated infusions of certain immune cells delayed ALS

Moderate levels of physical activity and fitness may be linked to a reduced risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) later in life, according to a new study. The study only found an association between physical activity and risk of ALS in male participants, not female participants. Moderate levels of physical activity and fitness may be

Well as the neurological diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) can be detected through a simple blood test. This groundbreaking discovery offers a non-invasive way to diagnose these debilitating conditions, potentially leading to earlier treatment and improved patient outcomes. With the potential to revolutionize the way these diseases are diagnosed, this study is a game-changer in the field of neurological research
