Abstract excerpt
The molecular events leading to motoneuronal death are still poorly understood. In mammals, the bcl-2 proto-oncogene, which encodes a membrane-associated protein, has been shown to suppress both developmental motoneuronal death and experimental axotomy-induced motoneuronal death. We assessed a potential protective effect of Bcl-2 on pathological motoneuronal death processes in adult rodents. We took advantage of...
