Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons (MNs) that innervate skeletal muscles. However, certain MN groups including ocular MNs, are relatively resilient. To reveal key drivers of resilience versus vulnerability in ALS, we investigate the transcriptional dynamics of four distinct MN populations in SOD1G93A ALS mice using LCM-seq and single-molecule fluorescent...
