Three researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have received 2025 MGH ALS Young Investigator Awards for their research on genetic abnormalities, faulty energy systems, and why some nerve cells are more susceptible to damage than others in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The awards announced by the Sean M.
I keep playing a new song by Bon Iver. Once my husband, Todd, who has ALS, is set up on his computer after breakfast, I turn my attention to household chores until he needs my help again. My new find, “There’s a Rhythmn” [sic], has a reflective,…

Alchemab Therapeutics has entered into a licensing agreement with Eli Lilly to develop and market ATLX-1282, a therapy candidate for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative conditions. ATLX-1282 was developed using Alchemab’s platform, which uses machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify potential therapeutic targets for diseases…
Crunch Fitness will host a nationwide fundraising event to support Augie’s Quest to Cure ALS, an organization dedicated to funding innovative research, help develop treatments, and raise awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Both Crunch members and nonmembers may take part at Crunch locations nationwide on May…
Implanting a sensor in a region of the brain that helps to control speech was shown in a U.S. study to not only decode the intended speech of a man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but also to help this patient control a computer mouse. According to the researchers,…
