A simple blood test could speed the diagnosis of the deadly nerve disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), new research suggests. If the test gets regulatory approval, it could help patients start ...

Scientists invented a pocket-sized model of the most common form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The "disease-on-a-chip," made using stem cells, could pave the way for new treatments for the ...

New hope could be on the horizon for ALS patients in the form of a "breakthrough" drug, researchers say. Neuvivo, a California biopharmaceutical company that develops therapies for neurodegenerative ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains one of the most devastating and biologically elusive neurodegenerative diseases. Despite decades of research, its underlying mechanisms are still not fully ...

Vicky Myrick was recently diagnosed with ALS— amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. She is examined by her doctor, Richard Bedlack, at the Duke ALS Clinic. Her husband, Colon Myrick, and sister, Sherry ...
