Fas small interfering RNA reduces motoneuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis mice
14 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective motoneuron death. Understanding of the molecular mechanisms that trigger and regulate motoneuron degeneration could be relevant to ALS and other motoneuron disorders. This study investigates the role of Fas-linked motoneuron death in the pathogenesis of ALS. METHODS: We performed in vitro...
