Study Reveals How Growing Motor Neurons Guide Blood Vessel Growth

An international team of researchers discovered how, during development, motor neurons — the nerve cells controlling movement whose death causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — direct blood vessel growth around them while growing toward target muscles. Specifically, motor neurons were found to secrete a combination of signaling molecules that…

Early CNM-Au8 Continues to Show Survival Benefits in ALS Patients
