Abstract excerpt
Genetic discoveries in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have a significant impact on deciphering molecular mechanisms of motor neuron degeneration but, despite recent advances, the etiology of most sporadic cases remains elusive. Several cellular mechanisms contribute to the motor neuron degeneration in ALS, including RNA metabolism, cellular interactions between neurons and nonneuronal cells, and seeding of...
