A University of Missouri researcher found a way to deliver healing molecules past the brain's protective barrier, improving ALS symptoms in mice. The breakthrough could lead to human trials that might one day prevent the disease before symptoms start.
Professional golfer Brooks Koepka is fulfilling his $5 million charitable commitment required for his return to the PGA Tour from LIV Golf. The donations are supporting causes from children's healthcare to accelerating ALS research.
Golf star Brooks Koepka is fulfilling his $5 million charity pledge as part of his return to the PGA Tour from LIV Golf. The money is going to causes that range from children's health to accelerating ALS research.
Golf star Brooks Koepka is fulfilling his $5 million charity pledge by supporting causes from children's healthcare to ALS research. Among the recipients is a foundation started by a 30-year industry veteran recently diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease.
Pro golfer Brooks Koepka is directing $5 million to children's hospitals, foundations, and fellow players' charities as part of his return to the PGA Tour. The donation includes $1 million to Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation and support for causes from ALS research to limb-difference advocacy. #
After decades of slow progress, ALS researchers at VCU Health say they're more optimistic about finding a cure than at any point in history. The Richmond team is combining new FDA-approved treatments with cutting-edge research to extend lives and find solutions.
The U.S. just approved the largest federal ALS research budget in history at $315 million. New treatments targeting the disease's root causes are showing real promise for the first time.
Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane turned his ALS diagnosis into a powerful mission, raising over half a million dollars for research before his death at 53. His final months moved the needle forward for thousands battling the rare disease.
Tanzania is partnering with South Korea to build a $16.5 million technology center that will transform the country into a regional leader in critical mineral research by 2030. The center will boost the mining sector while training small-scale miners and creating jobs across the country.
Researchers have successfully grown specialized brain cells that die in ALS and get damaged in spinal injuries, opening new doors for treatment. For the first time, scientists can reliably create these rare corticospinal neurons in the lab.
Northwestern Medicine researchers discovered how to help mice with ALS live longer and stay stronger by targeting a protein that was accidentally protecting toxic buildup in their cells. The breakthrough opens a new path for treating multiple brain diseases.
A European team just scored €6 million to build an AI that lets scientists "talk" to materials research. The platform could transform how we invent everything from batteries to building materials.
Researchers in Belgium discovered how a common molecule called spermidine can restore damaged neurons in ALS, offering fresh hope for treating this devastating disease. The breakthrough could guide the development of new therapies for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Researchers developed an AI model that predicts how ALS affects the nervous system, potentially reducing the need for animal testing while speeding up treatment discoveries. The breakthrough combines computer simulations with real-world biology to guide more precise research.
