Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective loss of motor neurons. We have previously shown that autophagosome-like vesicular structures are progressively accumulated in the spinal axons of an ALS mouse model, overexpressing human Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) mutant, prior to the onset of motor symptoms. This suggests that axonal transport perturbation can be...
