Abstract excerpt
The fatal neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterised by loss of motoneurons of the brainstem and spinal cord, and corticospinal neurons of the motor cortex. There is also increasing evidence of involvement of glial cells and interneurons, with non-cell autonomous disease mechanisms now thought to contribute to motoneuron degeneration in ALS. Given the apparent involvement of...
