Early interneuron dysfunction in ALS: Insights from a mutant sod1 zebrafish model
1 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine, when, how, and which neurons initiate the onset of pathophysiology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using a transgenic mutant sod1 zebrafish model and identify neuroprotective drugs. METHODS: Proteinopathies such as ALS involve mutant proteins that misfold and activate the heat shock stress response (HSR). The HSR is indicative of neuronal stress, and we used a fluorescent...
