Spinal Muscular Atrophy: A Short Review Article
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 کاملNeurodegeneration: A Leg Up on TDP-43
TDP-43 is a key disease protein for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis but how it drives motor neuron degeneration remains unresolved. A new study has modeled TDP-43 age-dependent axonal death in the Drosophila leg and used a powerful forward genetic screen to identify three novel suppressor genes.
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 ...

متن کاملEvaluation of effect of chick embryonic notochord on neural induction of mouse embryonic stem cells
Introduction: The aim of this study was evaluate the ability of notochord to induce neural induction and/or differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cell to neuron and motor neuron, respectively. Methods: In order to produce embryoid bodies, ES cells line Royan B1 were grown in suspension in the absence of LIF for 4 days. EBs were divided into 4 groups. EBs in group 1 & 2 were further cultur...
