For the first time, researchers from the University of Queensland (UQ) have mapped out the proteins implicated in the early stages of motor neuron disease (MND). Dr. Rebecca San Gil from Associate ...

We report an important role for microglia in regulating neuroplasticity within phrenic motor neurons. Brief episodes of low oxygen (acute intermittent hypoxia; AIH) elicit a form of respiratory motor ...

Motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are devastating neurodegenerative conditions that are characterised by progressive degeneration of motor neurons, leading to ...

Rugby league player Jai Arrow's recently announced diagnosis of motor neuron disease has again brought this devastating disease to public attention. Motor neuron disease is relatively rare, with fewer ...
