Neurons other than motor neurons in motor neuron disease. [PDF]

Histology and histopathology, 2017
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is typically defined by a loss of motor neurons in the central nervous system. Accordingly, morphological analysis for decades considered motor neurons (in the cortex, brainstem and spinal cord) as the neuronal population selectively involved in ALS.

Statistical modelling of neuron degeneration [PDF]

, 2013
SUMMARY: Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s disease are all examples of neurodegenerative disorders that result from the premature death of nerve cells or neurons.

FUS-SMN Protein Interactions Link the Motor Neuron Diseases ALS and SMA [PDF]

, 2012
Mutations in the RNA binding protein FUS cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal adult motor neuron disease. Decreased expression of SMN causes the fatal childhood motor neuron disorder spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Functional genetic analysis of motor neuron disease [PDF]

, 2010
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are the commonest motor neuron diseases of adult- and childhood onset. Alterations of the RNA binding protein TDP-43 are associated with most cases of ALS, while SMA is caused by ...

Converging Mechanisms of p53 Activation Drive Motor Neuron Degeneration in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Cell Reports, 2017
The hallmark of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an inherited disease caused by ubiquitous deficiency in the SMN protein, is the selective degeneration of subsets of spinal motor neurons.

Motor neuron disease: The last 12 months [PDF]

, 2022
Background For patients with motor neuron disease (MND), the final 12 months of life can be a tumultuous period, with rapid and significant losses in function and independence, regular contact with the health system and carer stress.

Examining mechanisms underlying the selective vulnerability of motor units in a mouse model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy [PDF]

, 2014
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a childhood form of motor neuron disease that causes a progressive paralysis that, in its most severe form, results in death before two years of age. There is currently no cure or treatment for SMA.

The era of cryptic exons: implications for ALS-FTD

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2023
TDP-43 is an RNA-binding protein with a crucial nuclear role in splicing, and mislocalises from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in a range of neurodegenerative disorders.

A Novel Calpain Inhibitor Compound Has Protective Effects on a Zebrafish Model of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3

Cells, 2021
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a hereditary ataxia caused by inheritance of a mutated form of the human ATXN3 gene containing an expanded CAG repeat region, encoding a human ataxin-3 protein with a long polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat region ...
