A simple blood test could speed the diagnosis of the deadly nerve disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), new research suggests. If the test gets regulatory approval, it could help patients start ...

Scientists invented a pocket-sized model of the most common form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The "disease-on-a-chip," made using stem cells, could pave the way for new treatments for the ...

New hope could be on the horizon for ALS patients in the form of a "breakthrough" drug, researchers say. Neuvivo, a California biopharmaceutical company that develops therapies for neurodegenerative ...

Vicky Myrick was recently diagnosed with ALS— amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. She is examined by her doctor, Richard Bedlack, at the Duke ALS Clinic. Her husband, Colon Myrick, and sister, Sherry ...

The news last week that a Phase 3 trial of Amylyx Pharmaceuticals’ amyotrophic lateral sclerosis drug — marketed as Relyvrio — failed to benefit patients compared to placebo hit the ALS patient ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University led a large-scale international study that opens a new avenue for treating the fatal degenerative disease ALS, considered incurable until now. The researchers ...

A new international study led by Tel Aviv University researchers may pave the way for an effective treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal and currently incurable neurodegenerative ...
