The formation and maintenance of neuromuscular junctions are activity-dependent processes. This means that, without regular stimulation, grafted motor neurons may survive but are unlikely to form ...
Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny ...
MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...
Rugby league player Jai Arrow’s recently announced diagnosis of motor neurone disease has again brought this devastating disease to public attention. Motor neurone disease is relatively rare, with ...
Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which ...

New blood test can spot deadly motor neurone disease with 100 per cent accuracy - would you take it?
The test was developed by researchers at the US-based not-for-profit Brain Chemistry Labs, who analysed 788 blood samples – roughly half from patients with the disease and half from people without it.
