Maintaining quality care for patients with ALS — Lessons from the pandemic
By Advancing the Science contributor 
By Susan Barber Lindquist The efficiency and effectiveness of telemedicine exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic. For patients with Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS, telemedicine always has been an important piece of their medical care. A recent study in Neurology by Mayo Clinic researchers offers one more proof point. Tests […]

How regenerative medicine is advancing ALS research
May is ALS Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the role of regenerative medicine research in advancing understanding and treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease. This neurodegenerative disorder causes nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to die, blocking signals to the muscles. That results in paralysis that robs […]
