Motor Neuron Diseases and Neuroprotective Peptides: A Closer Look to Neurons

Motor Neuron Diseases and Neuroprotective Peptides: A Closer Look to Neurons

Motor neurons (MNs) are specialized neurons responsible for muscle contraction that specifically degenerate in motor neuron diseases (MNDs), such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Distinct classes of MNs degenerate a...
