Al-Gezira State in Sudan has successfully restored its health system and surpassed recovery goals, earning praise from federal health officials. New facilities will soon open as the region rebuilds medical services for its communities.
Scientists in West Michigan are creating breakthrough treatments that attack the root causes of ALS rather than just managing symptoms. Their work focuses on fixing the genetic mutations that trigger this devastating disease.
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.
A promising new treatment for ALS has entered human trials across multiple countries, offering hope to patients by targeting a protein crucial for nerve-muscle communication. The therapy aims to restore function in most ALS patients through a novel genetic approach.
Scientists have found a way to use CAR T-cells, already proven to cure some cancers, to slow the devastating effects of ALS by targeting rogue immune cells in the brain. The breakthrough could extend lives and eventually help treat dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.
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.
A newly approved ALS treatment can now target specific genetic causes of the disease, offering hope to patients with Lou Gehrig's disease. The FDA fast-tracked the therapy, marking a significant breakthrough in personalized medicine for neurological conditions.
Scientists at Stanford just received $13 million to use cutting-edge artificial intelligence to uncover the hidden genetic causes of ALS, a devastating disease that currently has no cure. They've already discovered one new gene and hope to find many more targets for future treatments.
An experimental therapy targeting the immune system could slow ALS progression for thousands of patients. Temple Health researchers are testing Coya 302, offering new hope beyond current limited treatments.
Spanish researchers discovered a cellular cleaning system that weakens in ALS patients, offering the first potential target to slow this devastating disease. The breakthrough came from studying donated tissue from patients who helped advance research even in their final years.
Jeff Vierstra lost his mother and two sisters to a deadly genetic disease, but an experimental treatment may be preventing him from developing ALS for the first time in his family's history. After three years of spinal infusions targeting his mutated gene, the 41-year-old shows no signs of the disease.
Researchers at Mayo Clinic are turning groundbreaking genetic discoveries into real treatments for ALS and dementia patients. New diagnostic tools, AI-powered voice technology, and targeted therapies are giving families fresh reasons for hope.
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 breakthrough drug called AMX0035 is giving hope to 35,000 Americans living with ALS by significantly slowing the disease's progression. Research advances at Columbia's ALS Center are helping patients live longer with better quality of life. ##
The only multidisciplinary ALS clinic in the Mountain West now offers groundbreaking gene therapy for patients with genetic forms of the disease. University of Utah Health's team brings together 10+ specialists in one visit, making life easier for the 30,000 Americans living with ALS.
A breakthrough gene therapy has revolutionized how Canadian doctors approach ALS testing. Now 100% of physicians offer genetic testing to all patients, regardless of family history.
Actor Eric Dane couldn't attend an ALS gala due to his health, but sent a powerful message of hope and determination. Fellow ALS advocate Aaron Lazar accepted the award on his behalf as the community rallied around him.
Tim Evans, diagnosed with ALS in 2014, chose to become the first volunteer in groundbreaking research at Johns Hopkins Medicine instead of letting his disease define his final chapter. His decision could help improve quality of life for thousands of ALS patients diagnosed each year.
LA Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan is gifting one of his signature "K ALS" gloves to MLB.com's Sarah Langs for her birthday, honoring her advocacy work while battling the disease. The glove tradition started at Boston College, inspired by ALS activist Pete Frates who co-founded the viral Ice Bucket Challenge.
A promising oral therapy for ALS is moving toward Canadian approval after the company received regulatory clearance to file by December. Clinical trial data showed the treatment may extend survival by nearly 15 months when started early.
