Mechanistic finding may help develop treatment for Ice Bucket Challenge disease

A new study by a team of scientists from the University of Malta and the Institut de Génétique Moléculaire de Montpellier (CNRS/Université de Montpellier) could help develop treatment strategies for a crippling disorder that was the focus of the Ice Bucket Challenge, the world's largest global social media phenomenon. The findings uncover a mechanism that explains how motor neuron disease develops.
