Motor neuron disease [PDF]

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2001
Motor neuron disease refers to a spectrum of disorders resulting from degeneration of the upper or lower motor neurons or both. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is the most common form of motor neuron disease, in which patients demonstrate evidence of both anterior horn cell (lower motor neuron) and corticospinal tract (upper motor neuron) dysfunction ...

Morphological characteristics of motor neurons do not determine their relative susceptibility to degeneration in a mouse model of severe spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]

, 2012
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a leading genetic cause of infant mortality, resulting primarily from the degeneration and loss of lower motor neurons.

Sumoylation regulates the assembly and activity of the SMN complex

Nature Communications, 2021
Sumoylation is important for the assembly and function of the SMN complex, which plays a central role in RNA processing. Here the authors show that loss of this posttranslational modification impairs the ability of SMN to correct selective deficits in ...

Redox dysregulation as a driver for DNA damage and its relationship to neurodegenerative diseases

Translational Neurodegeneration, 2023
Redox homeostasis refers to the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and their elimination by antioxidants. It is linked to all important cellular activities and oxidative stress is a

Motor Neuron Disease

The Neurologist, 2009
The existence of a large number of neurological diseases in which the motor neuron is the principal site of pathology suggests that these cells and their neuronal networks have a specific set of vulnerabilities. Recent research, largely based on relatively rare genetic forms of motor neuron disease, indicates that these cells are vulnerable to defects ...

ALS/FTD-associated mutation in cyclin F inhibits ER-Golgi trafficking, inducing ER stress, ERAD and Golgi fragmentation

Scientific Reports, 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severely debilitating neurodegenerative condition that is part of the same disease spectrum as frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Opinion: more mouse models and more translation needed for ALS

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a complex disorder most of which is ‘sporadic’ of unknown origin but approximately 10% is familial, arising from single mutations in any of more than 30 genes.

C9orf72-ALS human iPSC microglia are pro-inflammatory and toxic to co-cultured motor neurons via MMP9

Nature Communications, 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron loss, with additional pathophysiological involvement of non-neuronal cells such as microglia.
