Molecular Pathway Seen as ‘Intimate Tie’ Between ALS and Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Mutations that affect a particular molecular pathway essential to protein production further support reports of a link between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The study detailing this finding, “The neurodegenerative diseases ALS and SMA are linked at the molecular level via the ASC-1 complex,”…
