A panel of leading amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) researchers recently published a review study, supported by the ALS Association, detailing the state of disease biomarker development and calling for the formation of an ALS Biomarker Consortium to speed up research into more effective disease treatments. The review, titled “ALS biomarkers…

Motor neuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients is caused by several factors, including inflammation and oxidative stress. Uncovering the multiple pathways leading to ALS may suggest new ways to intervene therapeutically. University of Pittsburgh researchers found the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) and its ligands, or…
Meet Mike Winston. This is a short documentary about him, a 24-year-old young man living with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. In the film, you get to glimpse the life he lived directly after being diagnosed and compare that to how he lives 6 months after his diagnosis.
In this 2013 video, meet Susan. Award-winning journalist Susan Spencer-Wendel was in her prime when she got a devastating diagnosis: ALS, sometimes known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Knowing she only had a few years to live, she and her family started tackling all the items on her bucket list.
A report in the journal JAMA Neurology revealed positive findings from the first Phase 1/2 clinical trial and the Phase 2 dose escalation study investigating BrainStorm’s NurOwn for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). NurOwn is a stem cell technology employing adult cells isolated from the disease-affected patient, developed…
“In an effort to top last year’s wildly successful #ALSIceBucketChallenge, the ALS Association reviews a new batch of Bucket Challenge alternatives from Neil Patrick Harris, JK Simmons, Martha Stewart, and more.” Learn more about ALS here: https://bit.ly/ALSNewsToday…

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have suggested there is a fine balance between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-related protein TDP-43’s normal function and its potential to cause neurodegeneration. The degeneration seems to occur due to pathological factors that exaggerate the protein’s membrane association, resulting in the loss of its physiological functions as well as…
