Air pollution is associated with an increased risk for developing motor neuron disease and disease progression after diagnosis.

A new study from Sweden links long-term air pollution exposure to higher risk of motor neurone disease and faster progression.

Long-term air pollution exposure is linked to higher risk, faster progression, and increased mortality in motor neuron ...

Air pollution was associated with risk for developing motor neuron disease such as ALS and likely contributes to an ...

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.

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

New research suggests that long-term exposure to air pollution may not only increase the risk of developing motor neurone disease (MND), but also worsen outcomes for patients after diagnosis, ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu Even at relatively low pollution levels, chronic exposure to fine particles and nitrogen dioxide was ...

Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron disease, can be traced back to genetic mutations. However, how they cause the ...

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, for 55 years. He was one of the longest-surviving people with the condition.
