Initial protective role of nervous system’s ‘star-shaped cells’ in sporadic motor neuron disease uncovered

by The Francis Crick Institute Support cells in the nervous system help protect motor neurons in the early-stages of sporadic motor neuron disease, according to new research from the Crick and UCL. Motor neuron disease is a degenerative condition which destroys the nerve cells (motor neurons) in the brain and spinal cord, which control movement,...
