Morpholino-mediated SOD1 reduction ameliorates an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease phenotype
16 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
Neurotoxicity due to the accumulation of mutant proteins is thought to drive pathogenesis in neurodegenerative diseases. Mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are linked to familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS); these mutations result in progressive motor neuron death through one or more acquired toxicities. Interestingly, SOD1 is not only responsible for fALS but may also play a significant role in...
