Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS) (肌萎缩性侧索硬化症) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degene...

Fabry disease is a genetic disorder that mainly affects the heart, nervous system, and kidneys, often leading to life-threatening symptoms.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affects the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord resulting in degeneration and death of this cell population. Patients with ALS eventually lose the ability to speak, move, and breathe. Although the causal links of ALS remain unknown, specific mutations are...
Alzheimer's disease affects millions of people around the world. American researchers say the disease will affect more than one hundred million people worldwide by the year twenty fifty. That would be fourtimes the current (现在的) number. Researchers and doctors have been studying Alzheimer's pa...
A Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the patient’s immune system attacks the central nervous system. This can lead to numerous physical and mental symptoms, as the disease affects the transmission of electrical signals between the body and the brain. However, the human body, being...
