Researchers at the University of Bristol have created a network of simple mechanical motors ...

In a letter to European patients, Roche said its decision to end development of “emugrobart” was based on the drug “not consistently” improving muscle growth and motor function in a key study.

These findings are important as they show that affected muscles in an ALS mouse model remain receptive to reinnervation by healthy engrafted motor neurons, even until the late stages of the disease.

A research group conducted experiments using aged mice to demonstrate that muscle denervation at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ, *1) could be appreciably offset by an NMJ formation-enhancing ...

A breakthrough neuromodulation system rapidly restores motor function in patients with a severe spinal cord injury (SCI), new research shows. The study demonstrated that an epidural electrical ...

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease. An intervention, ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, attacks nerve cells known as motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, gradually leading to paralysis. The loss of function of an important gene, C9orf72, may ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

March 11 (Reuters) - Regenxbio said on Wednesday that interim data from a early-to-mid stage study of its experimental gene therapy in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy showed continued ...
