Scientists have made a remarkable discovery: small, antenna-like structures on cells, the so-called cilia, appear to play a ...

Some muscles are resistant to the loss of motor neurons seen in patients with spinal muscular atrophy, and new research has ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function.

(Motor neurons are nerve cells that control movement.) This study is the first to show that, beyond myokines, the mechanical force of muscle contraction can also stimulate motor neuron growth.

WELSH rugby legend Geoff Wheel has died aged 73 after a battle with Motor Neurone disease. Wheel was an iconic figure of the ...
