Reading Time: 5 minutes A recent gene finding suggests that recycling within our cells is key to all forms of MND. This story captivated many people affected by MND and our blog broke its previous record for the number of hits in one week at over 4,000. It was also linked to, as a reliable and informative piece, from…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Tissue donation has played a vital role in many important MND research findings. Without the generosity of individuals who decide to donate their brains and spinal cords to MND research, many of the recent advances wouldn’t have happened or at the very least, the relevance of the findings wouldn’t have been known! In recent years, tissue donations from…
Reading Time: < 1 minute Research published today in Neuron has identified that mistakes in a gene called VCP can cause an inherited (familial) form of MND. This is the third gene this year that has been identified as a cause of familial MND which really shows the ‘snowballing’ speed that genetic research is taking. Read about this on our press release: http://bit.ly/dXcjE4 Research paper: Johnson…
