Restoration of SMN in Schwann cells reverses myelination defects and improves neuromuscular function in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
, 2016 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by low levels of SMN protein, primarily affecting lower motor neurons. Recent evidence from SMA and related conditions suggests that glial cells can influence disease severity.

Abnormal motoneuron migration, differentiation, and axon outgrowth in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
, 2008 The role of heterotopic (migratory) motoneurons (HMN) in the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is still controversial. We examined the occurrence and amount of HMN in spinal cord tissue from eight children with SMA (six with SMA-I and two ...
