Abstract excerpt
Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) is a fatal motor neuron disease that is caused by mutations in the gene encoding superoxide dismutase-type 1 (SOD1). The affected regions of the FALS brain are characterized by aggregated SOD1, and the mutations that destabilize SOD1 appear to promote...
