Abolishing Bax-Dependent Apoptosis Shows Beneficial Effects on Spinal Muscular Atrophy Model Mice
28 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the most common genetic motoneuron degenerative disorder, but the mechanism(s) of motoneuron degeneration is unclear. We previously generated SMA model mice, which genotypically and phenotypically mimicked human SMA patients, by a combination of knockout and transgenic techniques. Here, we used these SMA model mice to decipher the apoptotic mechanism(s) involved in SMA motoneuron...
