Researchers at Aberdeen University have made a breakthrough that could one day be used to treat motor neurone disease.

“We have discovered that the protein boosts electrical signalling in our muscles, making the nerve-muscle communication secure and big enough to allow our muscles to contract,” said Guy Bewick, senior lecturer at the university’s Institute of Medical Sciences.
He added that their finding gives a better understanding of how nerve endings maintain the correct signalling strength for new activities, like running or weight training.
