Researchers have developed a blood test for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that could lead to more rapid and accurate diagnosis when used alongside standard clinical evaluations. Investigators ...

A new study by a research team comprising experts from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and the University of Yale has demonstrated that the early signs of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can be ...

New research by UCLA Health has found a simple blood test could provide faster and more accurate diagnosis of ALS by measuring cell-free DNA. While more study is needed, researchers say the ...

ALS is a debilitating paralytic disease characterized by the death of upper and lower motor neurons. Fortunately, ALS is relatively rare, with an incidence rate of 1.6 per 100,000 adults, resulting in ...

A new study may finally change how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is diagnosed. Scientists from UCLA Health and the University of Queensland developed a blood test that can spot signs of the ...

A new rapid blood test for ALS has been developed by scientists at the not-for-profit Brain Chemistry Labs in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Based on analysis of 788 patient blood samples, including 393 ALS ...

UCLA Health researchers have developed a novel blood test that measures cell-free DNA, offering a promising new method for earlier and more accurate ALS detection. This non-invasive test can ...

There are no specific tests to diagnose amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To make a diagnosis, a doctor will perform tests to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms and indicate changes ...
