Differential Screening of Mutated SOD1 Transgenic Mice Reveals Early Up-Regulation of a Fast Axonal Transport Component in Spinal Cord Motor Neurons

In the present study we analyze the molecular mechanisms underlying motor neuron degeneration in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). For this, we used a transgenic mouse model expressing the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene with a Gly86 to Arg (G86R) mutation equivalent to that foun...
