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

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

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.

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 recent large study conducted in Sweden has found that long-term exposure to elevated levels of air pollution may increase ...

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

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

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 ...

This article and associated images are based on a poster originally authored by Daisy Maiden, Erin Hedges and Will Stebbeds and presented at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 in affiliation with LifeArc and ...

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 linked to higher disease risk, faster functional decline, and greater need ...
