Motor neurone diseases (MND)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are a group of progressive neurological disorders that destroy motor neurons, the cells that control skeletal muscle activity such as walking, breathing, speaking, and swallowing. This group includes diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive bulbar palsy, primary lateral sclerosis, progressive muscular atrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, Kennedy’s disease, and post-polio syndrome.

ALS - wouldn’t it be something else (words fail me here) if the death sentence of ALS was no longer a death sentence? I know folks who have died from ALS & also know folks currently coping with Parkinsons ... just had an old gentleman I’ve known for decades, die after years of being bedridden with Parkinsons.

It’s just “mice” at this point, but I wish them Godspeed with their research & hope it tanslates to humans with the same wonderful results.
