First detailed images of molecule associated with ALS could open door to therapies

Scientists have determined for the first time the structure of the molecule associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple other neurodegenerative diseases. The scientists at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory for Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK, who led the study, say this discovery could enable targeted development of new medical interventions and diagnostic tests.
