ALS is the most common form of motor neuron disease. The word "amyotrophic" comes from Greek roots that mean "without nourishment to muscles" and refers to the loss of signals nerve cells normally send to muscle cells. "Lateral" means "to the side" and refers to the location of the damage in the spinal cord. The ALS Hope Foundation is proud to sponsor many of the ongoing programs at the MDA/ALS Center of Hope at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine. P.O.
