Axon-seq Lets Researchers Better Analyze mRNAs in Study of ALS
A new method called Axon-seq allows researchers to analyze the content of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in the motor neuron’s axons, the tips of the nerve cells that communicate with muscle cells, a new study reports. Using Axon-seq, researchers identified 121 mRNAs that are deregulated in ALS motor neurons, highlighting the new…
