Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder and mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) account for 20% of familial ALS cases. The aetiology of ALS remains unclear, but protein misfolding, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and neuronal apoptosis are implicated. We previously established that protein disulphide isomerase (PDIA1) is protective against ER stress and apoptosis in...
