Magnetic stimulation seen to restore ALS motor neurons in cell study

Magnetic stimulation restored the health of lab-grown motor neurons — the muscle-controlling nerve cells that die in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — derived from people with familial ALS, according to a proof-of-concept study. The approach improved several biological processes in motor neurons, including the movement of cellular components along…

MTPA joins with ALS/MND patient registry with goal of better care

To better understand amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and improve patient care, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America (MTPA) is partnering with the ALS/MND Natural History Consortium in collecting real-world data on people with the progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The collaboration will give MTPA access to the consortium’s data repository,…
