  Ametrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, affects the brain and gradually makes a person unable to move or speak. It is also known as motor neurone disease which was an incurable disease till now but now we have got a new ray of hope from a new compound. Scientists at Northwestern University have discovered the world's first compound that prevents the breakdown of nerve cells (neurons) that cause movement. Nerve damage exacerbates ALS, and the patient gradually becomes immobile and dies. In ALS, all the nerves that control physical movements are degraded and we do not yet have any medicine or treatment to cure them. "We've discovered the first compound that can heal a sick upper motor neuron," says Hende Ozner, a co-professor at the university. This research has now been published. A compound called NU9 has been developed in the laboratory. This reduces the folding of the wrong type of protein during the formation of vital cells. This compound is harmless and non-...
