Science Minister Lord Drayson opens the 19th International Symposium on ALS/MND.
The importance of consulting medicinal chemists as early as possible when MND researchers begin the journey of taking their promising chemicals from the laboratory to the clinic.
Researchers have shown that there is a causal link between TDP43 and MND. The search is now on to find out how the two are linked together.
A panel of experts concluded that although there are many flaws with the 'SOD1' mouse model of MND/ALS, we should learn to work with this mouse and improve it.
An entire session at the symposium was devoted to the toxin BMAA, produced by cyanbacteria, an ancient bacteria found throughout the world in a wide range of environments.
The findings from a randomized placebo controlled trial to determine the safety and effectiveness of using THC (taken from the cannabis plant) for the treatment of cramps in people with MND.

Our grantees explain how different models of MND – from mice to fruit flies - can tell us about what causes motor neurones to die on a cellular level.
Prof Clive Svendsen explains how stem cells can be used to help further MND research.
