Motor neuron disease
نویسنده
چکیده
Motor neuron disease (MND) represents one ofthe major unsolved problems in neurology. The literature is characterized by numerous speculative theories, mostly derived by analogy with other recognized causes of motor neuron death such as poliomyelitis, or from toxic exposures such as lead poisoning. However, analogous reasoning of this type has not, so far, given insights into MND itself, or resulted in testable hypotheses. It is therefore relevant to consider the extent of established knowledge concerning the disease.

Objective(s): Cell therapy has provided clinical applications to the treatment of motor neuron diseases. The current obstacle in stem cell therapy is to direct differentiation of stem cells into neurons in the neurodegenerative disorders. Biomaterial scaffolds can improve cell differentiation and are widely used in translational medicine and tissue engineering. The aim...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder which affect nervous system and is characterized with progressive distal motor neuron weakness. The survival motor neuron (SMN) protein level reduces in patients with SMA. Two different genes code survival motor neuron protein in human genome. Skeletal and intercostal muscles denervation lead to weakness, hypotony, hyporeflexia, respiratory fa...
متن کاملGlobal gene expression analysis using microarray to study differential vulnerability to neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neuron disease and Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by loss of specific cells within certain regions of the brain. One of the most compelling questions is to determine why specific cell populations are vulnerable to neurodegeneration. We addressed this question by studying global gene expression changes using an animal model of ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by death of motor neurons leading to devastating muscle weakness and wasting and weight loss. It causes mixed picture of lower motor neuron (LMN) and upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction. The wide spectrums of atypical presentations can frequently lead to expensive work-up and undue delay in diagnosis o...
