Golgi fragmentation precedes neuromuscular denervation and is associated with endosome abnormalities in SOD1-ALS mouse motor neurons
7 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fragmentation of stacked cisterns of the Golgi apparatus into dispersed smaller elements is a feature associated with degeneration of neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and some other neurodegenerative disorders. However, the role of Golgi fragmentation in motor neuron degeneration is not well understood. RESULTS: Here we use a SOD1-ALS mouse model (low-copy Gurney G93A-SOD1 mouse) to show...
