🦟 Canadian scientists pooled and re-analysed the data from 11 previous studies on links between pesticide exposure (including herbicides and insecticides) and motor neuron disease, finding that exposure was linked to a 60-70% increase in the risk of men developing the most common form, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The team says that, compared with no exposure, exposure to herbicides was linked to a 70% increase in a man's risk of developing the disease, and exposure to either insecticides or fungicides was linked with a 60% increase in risk. Interestingly, the researchers point out that there was no increased risk seen in women. It's important to note, the authors say, that this kind of study is limited by the quality of the original studies it is based on, and does not prove the pesticides caused the disease, just that the two may be linked.
Australian scientists from The University of Queensland, RMIT University, University of Sydney and Adelaide University have offered commentary on the research.

A devastating nerve disease stalks a mountain village.
Neurologists have grappled with a cluster of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases in France, where a fondness for a toxic wild mushroom may hold the answer.

Features That May Make Motor Neurons Vulnerable to ALS
Motor neurons are distinguished by a set of genes that may enable the large size of the motor neuron cell body and lengthy axon, but also underlie their vulnerability to degeneration. Their molecular profile was defined by genes involved in cytoskeletal structure, which gives the cell shape and organizes the structures within; neurofilament genes related to cell size; and genes linked to the onset of ALS.

Hearing of the passing of Doddie Weir from MND at the ridiculously young age of 52 brought tears to my eyes, reminding me of my father's death from that same hellish condition 33 years ago. (He was 62 years old when he died - prime of life.)
Deepest sympathies to Doddie's family. . .
