Hypothalamic hormone linked to metabolic dysregulation in ALS

This recent research shows that the loss of MCH+ hypothalamic neurons is linked to the metabolic problems that occur in ALS. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Charcot's disease, is a disease of the motor neurons (motoneurons), the nerve cells that control our muscles, and is the…

New genes linked to ALS

Work by Luc Dupuis' team has shown direct links between the genetics and anatomopathology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease). ALS is a disease of the motor neurons (motor neurons), the nerve cells that control our muscles, and is the most common disease in adults.
