SARM1 deletion delays cerebellar but not spinal cord degeneration in an enhanced mouse model of SPG7 deficiency

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary spastic paraplegia is a neurological condition characterized by predominant axonal degeneration in long spinal tracts, leading to weakness and spasticity in the lower limbs. The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-consuming enzyme SARM1 has emerged as a key executioner of axonal degeneration upon nerve transection and in some neuropathies. An increase in the nicotinamide mononucleotide/NAD+ ratio...
