Exogenous Delivery of Heat Shock Protein 70 Increases Lifespan in a Mouse Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
28 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder that results in the progressive loss of motoneurons (MNs) in the CNS. Several survival and death mechanisms of MNs have been characterized and it has been determined that MNs do not appear to mount a complete stress response, as determined by the lack of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) upregulation after several stress paradigms. Hsp70...
