Abstract excerpt
Impaired axonal transport of the fast or slow component has been reported in patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), animal models for ALS, and familial ALS-linked mutant Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) transgenic mice. However, little is known about the impairment of axonal transport in mutant SOD1 transgenic mice. This is the first electron microscopic investigation of the axon hillock...
