Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a selective degeneration of brainstem and spinal motoneurons. The pathomechanism of degeneration is still incompletely understood, but includes a disruption in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. Here we report a quantitative microfluorometric analysis of the...
