Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic dynein 1, a motor protein essential for retrograde axonal transport, is increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this study, we developed a novel mouse model that combines the Legs at odd angles (Loa, F580Y) point mutation in the dynein heavy chain with a cholinergic neuron-specific knockout of the dynein heavy chain....
