Abstract excerpt
Inherited forms of motor neuron disease (MND), including hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP), are associated with the death or dysfunction of nerve cells that control skeletal muscle activity. However, in some cases, the impacts of genetic variants underlying MND act in a non-cell autonomous manner, instead affecting the function of other cell types necessary for neuronal maintenance. Pathological mutations in...
