Mechanisms underlying neural cell death in neurodegenerative diseases: alterations of a developmentally-mediated cellular rheostat.
Trends in neurosciences - 1 Dec 2000
Mehler M F, Gokhan S
Abstract excerpt
Genes associated with neurodegenerative diseases are normally expressed throughout neural development and are essential for the elaboration and maintenance of neuronal subpopulations. Disease-causing mutations can compromise defined subsets of these neural specification events in subtle ways that initially lead to impairments in the cellular homeostasis of evolving regional neuronal subpopulations, and...
