  Brian Dickie, Director of Research Development at the MND Association who have part funded this research, says: ‘The discovery of a new cause of the disease is of international importance, allowing researchers around the world to rapidly generate more pieces of the complex puzzle that is MND.

  Brian Dickie, director of research at the British Motor Neurone Disease Association, hailed the study’s findings by saying, "This is very promising work. Not only have the researchers managed to direct transplanted motor neurons to connect with their target muscles in appreciable numbers, but they've also been able to demonstrate an improvement in motor function and survival."
  
  He, however, insisted that there's a world of difference between treating mice and humans.
  
  "Establishing new neuromuscular connections over distances of a couple of centimetres in a young mouse is very different from attempting the same in human motor neuron diseases, especially in adults where the transplanted neurons may have to grow up to a metre to reach their target. That is a substantial hurdle that we still need to overcome," he says.

  That finding triggered a flood of new research into the disease, and the discovery of a second gene could draw even more people into the field, said Brian Dickie, director of Research Development at Britain's Motor Neuron Disease Association.
  
  "The discovery of a new cause of the disease is of international importance, allowing researchers around the world to rapidly generate more pieces of the complex puzzle that is motor neuron disease," he said.

  We held a media briefing in London at which Brian Dickie, Director of Research Development at the Association, and Professor Chris Shaw presented an overview of the research findings and answered any questions the invited journalists had.
  ...
  Following the briefing we also set up additional telephone interviews with Professor Shaw and Brian Dickie with journalists who wanted more information or had further questions.

  Session 1 saw Dr Brian Dickie the MNDA's Director of Research talk on 21st Century Science. In an amusing and understandable presentation he used the analogy of a set of scales and grains of sand gradually upsetting the balance to explain the multi-factorial causes of MND.
