Skeletal Muscle-Restricted Expression of Human SOD1 in Transgenic Mice Causes a Fatal ALS-Like Syndrome
14 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease that causes motor neuron (MN) loss and skeletal muscle paralysis. It is uncertain whether this degeneration of MNs is triggered intrinsically and is autonomous, or if the disease initiating mechanisms are extrinsic to MNs. We hypothesized that skeletal muscle is a primary site of pathogenesis in ALS that triggers MN...
