BMJ, 1996 In patients with motor neurone disease, progressively worsening breathlessness often coincides with deteriorating bulbar function, and this combination may lead to difficulties in swallowing and coughing and a risk of aspiration. Occasionally, chest infections cause life threatening respiratory failure.

Redox Biology, 2018 Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been shown to be important for many physiological processes, ranging from cell differentiation to apoptosis. With the development of the genetically encoded photosensitiser KillerRed (KR) it is now possible

Neurons other than motor neurons in motor neuron disease.
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.

Inflammation in ALS and SMA: Sorting out the good from the evil
Neurobiology of Disease, 2010 Indices of neuroinflammation are found in a variety of diseases of the CNS including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Diagnosing motor neurone disease [PDF]
BMJ, 1996 Advanced motor neurone disease is easily recognised. Progressively worsening dysphagia and dysarthria, and widespread wasting and weakness of the limbs with hyperactive reflexes in a corresponding wasted myotome in the absence of other neurological signs are unmistakable features.

Cell Reports, 2013 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a deficiency in the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. SMN mediates the assembly of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and possibly other RNPs.

ALS-associated mutant FUS induces selective motor neuron degeneration through toxic gain of function
Nature Communications, 2016 The mechanism by which FUS mutations cause familial ALS remains unclear. Here, the authors use mouse transgenic models to show that a toxic gain-of-function underlies motor neuron degeneration, and that the toxicity of mutant FUS does not depend on a ...

TDP-43 is a ubiquitylation substrate of the SCFcyclin F complex
Neurobiology of Disease, 2022 Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterised by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord.
