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.

Motor Neuron Disease (DRAFT)

, 2018
The video in this chapter explores motor neuron disease, including amytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It discusses the signs of upper motor neuron (UMN) and lower motor neuron (LMN) pathology, as well as Kennedy disease.

Telehealth for motor neurone disease [PDF]

Medical Journal of Australia, 2014
Tᴏ ᴛʜᴇ Eᴅɪᴛᴏʀ: Telehealth is an expanding area with emerging evidence of use in the management of motor neurone disease (MND) and home mechanical ventilation. Here, we report our experience with the use of telehealth for managing MND in Queensland.

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 ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Human TDP-43 overexpression in zebrafish motor neurons triggers MND-like phenotypes through gain-of-function mechanism

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Dysregulation of the TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), including intraneuronal cytoplasmic mislocalisation and aggregation is a feature of multiple neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal lobar dementia
